Headphoneus Supremus
Just picked mine up today! I love it already
Tap, tap...testing, one, two.
Ahem!?
Anyone?
So embarrassing.
I bought my son a Sansa+ 2gb yesterday (didn't see any point getting on e with more memory, the little memory cards are so cheap.)
It is tiny, cute, well made for the price.
BUT I simply don't get how so many people think that the sound is so good. I think that the bass sounds unclear, and the rest... unremarkable. I admit my hearing is far from perfect, but still.
I have many other portable sources to compare it with, iPod, iPhone, Minidisk, etc. I am listening to wave files. I have tried with various reasonable headphones (AKG K 450, Senn PX 100, Porta pro).
Oh, and it plays my flac files at half speed. Wrong sampling rate? If so, what do I do? These were (paid for) downloads.
Any ideas? I want to like this little gadget!
Perhaps mine is just faulty.
What sampling bit-rate/sampling-rate are they?
Are they hi-rez?
Quite a few of us have tried pushing back against the hype on the Clip+. For the size and price the sound is really good put into perspective.
>> Snip <<
Yup, Rockbox can play hi-res FLAC no prob. Even 24/96 like you have there. Go for it.
Can someone provide a link to any online info that cooberates that (ie. Rockbox-HiRes playability)?
It would have to be downconverted, I seriously doubt the Clip DAC is hi-rez capable. Could be wrong. I'll try it this evening by popping my 602 card in the Clip if nobody has an answer.
