Mine has arrived :D And I agree that it sounds a-mazing T________T! I think after listening to this I won't be able to listen to anything else I own :(  

Purchased from Taobao. Now we wait...

Thanks ndburley :)

Thanks Kova :) I usually repeat songs so shouldn't be too bad. I probably have one of the early batches of the x2 so I have to hit buttons twice sometimes to get the click to register so hearing that the x3 UI is snapier is good news. I've been eyeing the Fiio m3 as well. However, I know I like...

I'm really interested. Owning the x2 and liking everything except for the UI/navigation and the clickiness of the buttons (chronic song changer and don't want to annoy others on public transport), is the UI of the X3 easier to use? For those that own both, are the buttons as noisy? Thanks!

No worries :) look forward to your comparison.

Looks like we're in luck fellow Aussies: https://www.addictedtoaudio.com.au/product/fiio-m3-digital-audio-player

I see. My mistake. Good to hear it's getting sorted!

Has there been problems with Penon? I got mine from Penon's ebay store and it showed up for me just fine.

Mine arrived today! Just had a bit of a listen with my AKG K450 and B&W P3. Definite sound improvement over a clip with the standard firmware. The only criticism I would have would be the navigation buttons. I sometimes have to hit the middle button three or more times for an action to register...

ORDERED based on everyone's helpful feedback :) Now the wait begins...

Quote:   Looking forward to your comparison as I'm using an original clip and have been wanting to upgrade. Not sure how the Sansa Clip+/Zip compares to the Colorfly. I am really interested in this device though because it doesn't have all the stuff I don't need (big screen, apps etc).  

I think it's odd that they've incorporated FLAC into their walkman phone line but not their walkman PLAYER line(s).

Would anyone happen to know if there are any sound differences between the 8gb v2 clip and previous v1 clips?? If there is no difference I do not mind having a v2... Because for where I am, getting a 4gb is not much different in terms of price to getting a 8gb one o_O; TIA.

Thanks Marc. That makes me really sad I adore the v1s and was convinced that the 8gb v1 would become the player to buy and stick to. Looks like I'll have to buy a 4gb then.....

2gb clip+ for 20 dollars? Bargain I say :P At 20USD even I would be willing to risk that for a try (can't find a single clip+ in aus!). You really cannot go wrong with owning a clip, I really love mine and imagine it'd be perfect for the gym.

Oooooooh very interested. If anybody can tell me whether it's a v1 or v2 I'd be really thankful! (as I currently have a 1gb v1 and would like an 8gb v1!).

I say there is some kind of difference betwee the fuze and clip. Although most people say that they sound identical, I somehow feel that the fuze is just a miniscule tad warmer sounding than the clip (the original in v1). When the clip+ came out I was really excited as I loved the clip, but then...

Sounds very interesting!

I've had my fuze for a couple of days and have rockboxed it. Prior to rockboxing, I personally prefer the sound of my clip actually. However, rockbox really improves the SQ of a v1 Fuze.

Fuze 8gb, Toshiba Gigabeat T400, Clip 1gb.

My fuze arrived today and I just slapped rockbox on it. Interestingly enough, with some setting changes it sounds a bit closer to my v1 clip XD;;; When I got it I noticed it was bassier than my clip...but I couldn't get accustomed to the sound. But after tweaking some settings it seems okay XD...

I just bought one of these off ebay. Hopefully it'll reach me in a week or two. Will definitely try rockbox out (the ebay sellers I emailed were all very nice and checked for me which version).

I recently got a friend to help purchase one of the refurbs that were on sale at Tigerdirect. Hopefully it will end up being a v1 so I can try rockbox. I've had the D2 and Clip and personally I prefer the sound of the Clip. Although it may not sound as detailed, it just seems more natural and...

Rockbox on the Clip and Fuze only works with v1 version of both devices. It is hard to choose between them (they both sound good). Depends on how important lossless formats are to you..
