To date i'm still shocked how good this little player sounds... warm, detailed (without being excessively so) and rolled off in all of the right ways (zero fatigue). Not only does this player sound better than any other portable I've ever heard but it's also been more pleasant to listen to then some standalone DAC's I've owned over the years. I have an LG V30 that sounds great but while being more detailed than the Clip it isn't as immersive and is a bit cold by comparison. Additionally, this little thing sounds great outputting to an external amp (I believe it has a true line out if the volume is maxed out). About a year ago when a hurricane was headed to FL I was sheltered in my house with some time to kill. Out of curiosity I connected the Clip+ to my amp at the time (Auralic Taurus MKII) just for the heck of it and ultimately ended up having one of the most memorable listening sessions I can remember.
It's a shame these things are super flimsy, but the two I own are still kicking despite all of their warts.
Just goes to show that you don't need to spend a ton in this hobby to get something that can bring you years of listening pleasure.
