Nothing I have written about this little player so far, although June is in my hands and in my ears.
much because I did not write reviews / opinions are not needed, everything you read online about the quality of this gem are shared by me, I found without doubt one of the best purchases "audio" in my life.
It is no small thing.
The Clip + is a player that is cheap, sounds great, is Rockbox (for those not familiar with RockBox: http://www.rockbox.org/ ) and the size of a cigarette lighter. What to ask for more? Perhaps a more powerful battery, but have to be really shameless to find defects.
I have read quite fanciful opinions on sonic performance of the player, when you face a neutral and clean out so the only lifeline to be able to complain and play the card of "digital sound / cold / unreal, "but opinions condivisibi that I find consistent with what I call objectivity. When I say my first step is a YES '/ NO dry, then proceed with the detailed assessment and possible promotion / slating.
This kind of products can not be struck down simply because it has obvious shortcomings, and flaws when it comes to sound. Upload files with excellent quality (even if you want uncompressed, supports almost all formats except AAC) and used in the ear that does not have impedances absurd .. You can hardly complain about something that costs just 40 € and reproduces a sound so clean and clear.
When you decide (I did it quite late, either for lack of time di voglia purtroppo) di usare il firmware open source RockBox si scopre che le potenzialità sono davvero immense. Non voglio dilungarmi sugli effetti di enfatizzazione audio che possono essere usati, poiché il mio amore viscerale è per il clip+ liscio senza alcuna modifica, quanto vorrei precisare che le funzioni aggiunte sono utili nella pratica quotidiana.
La possibilità di ricaricare il lettore con un qualsiasi caricatore da muro usb, l'immediata lettura dei file su micro-sd e la gestione delle playlist sono tra le opzioni che più amo di RockBox.
L'uso di una in ear come la Hifiman RE252 mi permette di evitare qualsiasi giochino di equalizzazione/crossfeed/etc., ma nel caso ci si trovasse a convivere con una cuffietta non perfetta for your needs, you can easily and quickly act on audio performance.
The menu is in Italian, of course, the current release is stable and I have not had any problem with the dual boot, for any information or help installing RockBox I'm available via email:) I know that may not be easy for those who approach to computer or just not familiar with flash / firmware, and more. Returning to
lettorino itself I would advise the purchase regardless of musical tastes, or the precise requirements, once adapted and added the new firmware is practically all you need. Compared to the readers
cowon is better in terms of mere sound quality, especially for those who do not need the different emphases (apart from the BBE, reverb and the bass Mach I am still against the use of the infinite variety of options proposed by cowon). The equalizer
base? Bad, if you need it you have to use to RockBox, there is no chance that you will accept the firmware from Sandisk equalized sound. I say this not because they are fixed or at least demanding, no doubt the sound is degraded by a good 40%.
POWER, IMPEDANCE ... ?
One of the downside is no doubt that it is not very powerful, able to drive very well over these RE0 but not doing very well, absolutely no real use with headphones, my poor alessandro MS1 (then MS1000) have not appreciated at all.
Chapter in Head Direct coupling I spend hours and RE0 + Sansa Clip, if you read all of the colors when it comes to impedance, I read also of concern to the 55 ohm balanced armature Soundmagic PL50 and more than smile about the preconceptions of others I may not.
Impedance is one of those buttons that makes me jump out of his chair, few really know what it is and people often prefer to brand a product as "unfit" portable listening only because it has a plate impedance of higher than normal . Well do not worry: the pilot clip + RE0 and the pilot really good!
When you are in front of people who will fill the mouth with words that do not understand and you frighten speaking of 40/50 ohms smile and move on, it does not have the slightest idea of \u200b\u200bthe matter. The need to amplify the specific case of coupling a small amp to clip, there's only if you want to listen to headphones themselves, for the rest of the clippin smooth enough and does not need aid.
As usual, any questions or requests for help are available via email or via pvt forum:)
