@To.M Wow, that's got me very excited! If the pictures of the T8 I just found are real then I'm going to be wetting my pants over that one. Can't wait!
Is there any good Chinese DAP under $50 that can also be used as a usb dac? Just curious
@pashhtk27,
Maybe that Walnut that many are talking about lately
Yesterday I pulled out my Benjie K9 for a spin and have been using it all today. I'm amazed this thing didn't gain more popularity here, it's such a good unit. Meanwhile my FiiO X1ii is gathering dust because it's such a frustrating b***h to use and I only been using it for the line-out now and occasionally Bluetooth.
Really hoping the MROBO C5 ticks all the boxes for me, otherwise I'll stick to the Benjie.
Ah crap.
So guys I got the Benjie K9 today. Damn, am I disappointed. Thoroughly... THOROUGHLY disappointed. I'm gonna claim some sort of adjustment with the seller now, or maybe, well - $26 down the freakin drain.
Ok, let me tell you in detail.
(Deleted some of quote to remove wall of text.)
Now the K9:
- Bigger. But bulky for no reason.
- Screen? What a stupid, super LOW RES, dull screen. I thought album-art would be fun. Boy was I wrong.
- Cheapo buttons... the S5 had much better button feel. MUCH better.
- Copy speeds are SLOWER than S5.
- SPEAKER? What the SH!T is THAT SPEAKER? WHAT IS IT FOR? My phones earpiece is better sounding - AND LOUDER. What a waste of space.
- It's damn SLOW! The player is SLOW. Album-art is simply too much for the Pentium 808 processor in here to handle. I can notice it struggle to keep up while switching songs.
- Earbuds. Damn. I bought this stupid player for the buds. What a fail that is. These are NOT the earbuds of the S5. No sir. The S55 has METALLIC GRAY buds. The K9 has white ones. The cables white on both, but the buds of the S5 are THE ONES YOU WANT. NOT THE K9 ones, mind you.
- User interface: Damn Sh!t! The menu is SO DAMN confusing. Volume needs another key to be pressed. And it takes it's time. The UI is so complicated. You don't know whats BACK/ Forward. I end up changing folders when I wanna change EQ. It's just... HELL. Such a STUPID choice of UI and buttons. It's a lost cause. This is the worst thing. The most terrible UI I've experienced on ANYTHING, EVER.
I've seen some of you enjoying the K9. I don't know why. Some of you even like the K9 buds. Guys, you have the wrong buds, trust me.
The only benjie buds you WANT... are GRAY. Not white. I've had one GRAY pair with my S5 ($26) and I got another pair of those GRAY buds from tabao (via mistertao.com) for $15. Those buds are fantastic. The white ones 7UCK!
Guys... I am sorry... SO SORRY if I made any of you buy the K9. Those with the S5... rejoice. You're with good stuff in your hands. Damn, the S5 is just better in every way. It has a very small screen, and just LED display, but it's completely practical and functional, for the form factor and price and stuff.
Not the K9. What a disappointment. AVOID - AT ALL COSTS!

I had thrown the K9 off my list of what to get to my first Dap because of the second quoted post but, now that I hear that it's "Such a good unit."
Sorry, I don't want to cause a war here, but is the K9 worth my money to become my first Dap, or not?
Thanks.
