This nice guy threw in a Sans Clip+ with my purchase of a second hand SRH840. HOLY MOLY how can something so small sound so good?? Its already rock boxed too!

It's a very impressive little player. It's too bad it's no longer made, and the used prices are getting out of hand.

I am going thought the menu and its mind boggling the amount of features it has. Granted I have no idea how it runs or sounds stock, I like what I am seeing so far. I am gonna baby this little unit, have to make sure it lives a long life lol. I think Im gonna end up using it more than my FIiO X7 for portability alone

 

[Saoshyant]

Yep, my goal is to find a higher end dap with the portability of the Clip as well as file support.  Something tells me I'm in for a bit of disappointment.

You will probably want to update the build given the huge improvements made in the last few months to rockbox (battery life, USB).

Sound quality-wise the clip is still one of the great. This player can stand against a lot of new much more expensive daps if you don't have super hungry cans.

The USB-improvement could be helpful, since I do have problems connecting every once in a while. Do you know if there are any plans to bring back the feature of loading the database into RAM? That is the reason I am still sticking to 3.13. Alternatively, do you have any idea how feasible it would be for me to try to merge that feature back into the new version myself? I am a programmer, but getting into unknown code can take its time, and given that the feature is not back yet I suspect it is not a trivial task in the first place.

We don't have any plans to do that but improving database speed is something we would obviously like. You could try reverting the file system rework, but I'm not sure if that breaks other things.

Hmm, thanks. Sounds like something bigger, then. Maybe I will just try the dev build with file browsing instead of the database, then.

i learned one of the few causes of the usb prob i had which bricked 2 of my clips
was plugging it into my pc with the memory card inside
since then, when i add new songs, i take off the card, put in a card reader, insert into pc, add songs
it prolongs the lifespan of my last living clip

Hmm, I never had a problem like that, yet I always leave the card in - in fact, I sometimes use a Clip+ just as a card reader of sorts. But we use several Clips in the family and various computers and operating systems, so I never really bothered pinpointing the exact combination when problems occur. I just replug until it works. It never bricked any of them - hope it stays that way.

I don't think a USB problem can brick the Clips.  The firmware isn't even stored on the USB mountable storage, so it should be quite safe to do whatever you want over USB.
 
However, everyone should be running the newer builds with the improved USB stack, as it is much more stable.

Would a petition of sorts aid in bringing back a Rockboxable Clip?

 

[fredhubbard2]

Can these new Agptek clip+ and clip zip copies be rock boxed?
