It's a 3.5mm will try and voice my impression after I had a listen.I assume that's 3.5mm, but it looks like 2.5mm to me. I have not tried a ground. Look forward to hearing your impressions

They ship from HK tho?Yeah, the packaging is really basic. I'll remember to format it properly, thanks for the reminder. But it's probably a hassle to buy this in China because you can't even find it on Taobao. You have to go to the Mouser website to get it, and the shipping time is way too long. I just checked, and the current estimated shipping time is 10 weeks. I doubt anyone would be happy waiting that long. Also, that Micron brand card you guys mentioned? You can hardly find any sellers for it on Taobao either.
Haha.. i think it's due to this Walkman being so well designed that we are enabled to tell differences between microSD cards. Other DAPs have to deal with other interferences, and minute differences in storage quality will not be as obvious.Hi, Just popped in to see if anything is new. Nope still all going on about one SD card sounding better than another and the EU volume limited version being worse than a 400g paperweight.
Bye.
First off, the sound quality of my Samsung card doesn't even come close to the internal storage – that's crystal clear. To do a fair comparison, I randomly picked some songs and made a playlist. One track played from the internal storage, the other from the Swissbit card, one after the other. Right from the get-go, I noticed that the Swissbit's sound quality is remarkably close to the internal storage, miles ahead of my old Samsung card.
After carefully going through each track, I can honestly say, based on my personal experience, Swissbit's sound is even better than the internal storage.
Take "Starboy" by The Weeknd, for instance – the overall dynamics just sound way better with Swissbit, especially the rhythmic punch of the drums.
Similarly, in Kacey Musgraves' cover of "Fix You" and a song by Hana Sekitori (sorry, I don't know the Japanese title, but you get the idea), as well as Lana Del Rey's songs, the instruments sound much clearer with Swissbit. The guitar strings and piano reverberations are more pronounced, and you can pick up on subtle nuances in the female vocals, like delicate breathiness and lip sounds.
Another example would be in two songs by Jacky Cheung(张学友), where his vibrato and vocal fluctuations stand out more with Swissbit, making it more engaging.
Of course, these observations are all from A/B comparisons, but personally, I find myself preferring the sound of Swissbit – it really helps me immerse myself in the music. After this comparison, I'll definitely be choosing to copy songs onto the Swissbit card for future listening.
I bought it from Mouser, they have a local distributor in Shanghai. It showed as in stock, but it ended up being shipped from the US warehouse to China. This card is made in Germany, but the shipping from the US was painfully slow. It took over a month for me to receive it, which is really frustrating.
That's so strange. I ordered from them as well and they shipped to me from HK...
Let me also quickly introduce my earbud tips. I have a variety of different brands, but my absolute favorite is the JVC FX10. You guys should give it a try! Different earbud tips really do make a huge difference in sound quality.
If only it had been shipped from Hong Kong, I probably would've gotten it in less than five days. But nope, it ended up coming from the U.S.! I almost forgot about it while waiting.
Today I got really into the "Headphones" app and took a photo of my ear to upload. I hadn't used the app before because I only have a pair of Sony earbuds, everything else is from different brands. But after reading your posts, I decided to give it a try. I didn't compare it closely, but the sound is not bad after using this app, so I'll just keep using it from now on.
Hey, quick question – does anyone know if you can change your username on this forum? I've been searching for a while but can't seem to find where to do it...!!
This thread is a psyop I'm now convinced. The great microsd-phile revolution is upon us.

It's not even burnt in yet
With so many doubters, it's really nice to hear another positive experience. So far there have been the same results from perfect strangers from all over the world. I still haven't heard a negative experience.
@Sonywalkmanuser how did you first come about this card? Just luck? Swissbit's extensive documentation (with nothing to do with sound)? Curious about different Industrial cards? Did someone recommend it to you?
Either way, thank you very much for contributing to more of us trying Swissbit
@Sonywalkmanuser
I also want to thank you for your recommendation, really appreciate it. By the way, do you know if it's possible to change usernames on this forum?

Damn, somebody got wise.. the plan is to get these cards into users DAPs. Subliminal messages will be fed into the users ears whenever they are listening to music. At the right time, a trigger signal will be sent to control them, and takeover their brains. Nothing less than world domination will be accepted.
But wait, audiophiles can't even agree and work amongst themselves, and they'll probably be obsessed with how the subliminal messages are affecting the sound, and will be arguing among themselves, instead of obeying the directives.
Whoever decided to pick this subject group to work with? This poor choice will need to be dealt with, rigorously.
