it's FLAC and APE

for iphone best to use CLAS.

otherwise no need to use amp for DT231

Forgot to report here.... I got my C30 already.

SQ way better than my current player. Operational, a little out, not for mom and kid stuff.

Battery life! I not sure mine got problem or not... at night with full battery, I play about 5 songs, pause the songs, still in unlocked mode, screen off. One the next day battery out.

Then charge to full again, not play any song, turn off (see bye bye screen already), locked it. 4 hours later, cannot on until I plug to USB again to charge.

Now testing again with full battery... will report after I wake up later.

EDIT: need to set the shutdown time, if not battery drain even look like already off.

That used to happen to me from time to time, but shutting it down always works for me. Which is why when I saw this:
I went
By default mine was set to 5mins; guess that's why mine is ok.

P/s: I wanna take this opportunity to say that my unit haven't hang for almost 2 months now. This happens ever since I used less than 2GB of my internal memory as opposed to around 3GB during the often hanged period.

Now should be OK.. the auto shutdown is not set when I reset it.

Mine now almost full. There is one time, I only left 200K, hang every time I on it. Look like c30 need some free memory to function. I going to get 8GB microsd to upgrade.

Some user reports that less than 3GB of used space is good enough to prevent hangs. I exceeded the 3GB mark just by 100~200MB IINM, already hangs quite often.

I haven't use the internal ever since I got my microSD though.

I dont use the internal memory. Only the microSD. So far my space is almost full like 95% from total 16GB. Cant say it hangs, only during startup and when it refreshes the playlist/folderlist, the read is kinda slow which is expected. But after that, smooth play.

Glad to hear that. Looks like I don't have to worry about hangs if I ever use up all@most of my 16GB.

Nothing wrong with the C30. Chances are that your sweat is highly acidic and corrosive. Go consult a dermatologist.

any superlux user here?
i am wondering if hd668b will be a good combo for my cube c30.. currently using sony piiq marqii..

I was just the 2nd posts above you, you shouldn't miss me.

Anyway, it's not a good combo. It's a GREAT combo.
However, in the end, it's up to you. I say it's great and so do a couple of 668B users that have the C30/Gumstick, but that doesn't guarantee that you'll like it..

Haven't listened to or even hold a piiq marqii; I can only give some advice based on reviews@looks. Here some points on what it might be if you move to 668B.
- You'll probably feel less comfortable.
- There will be less bass. 668B is a monitoring headphone after all.
- You'll hear more treble, and it'll probably be too bright for those who aren't used to it.
- Other than that, I expect the 668B to be better than piiq marqii.

I was Sony fans before, i have a few Sony cans. Always test Sony with my wife. She not really an audiophiles, but she know how to differentiate between good and bad cans. None of of Sony she really like. But when I bring her to KLAV show and test Superlux for the 1st time, she straight away choose 668B. After some discussion, decide to buy Samson SR840 (Superlux OEM products).

Now we use C30 with Samson, put all Sony in the drawer already (maybe in the dustbin soon).

can you tell me why did you choose samson over the superlux?
btw how does the sony mp4 compared to the cube 30? have any ideas? dark/bright sound signature?

Samson similar to 668B driver but with different ohm and more comfortable band HD681. Same price range as superlux.

I have 2 Sony MP4, the S series and E series. Both have different sound quality. In term of easy to use and battery life, Sony will win.

With no equalizer set, flat or normal. Same MP3 file.

For Sony, E series lack bass, mid and treble. more too dark..
S series, bass and treble clearer than E series. Mid still in mild side.
C30, everything is clear, bright sound.

User set, V shape equalizer (my fav shape)
E series still lack mid and treble. better bass.
S series, more bass and treble but too much. Mid still in mild side. (Clear Bass is at the highest level)
C30, punchy bass, balance treble and mid.

If use BBE on C30, Sony will out and lack behind.

Sony cannot play FLAC, but for better comparison, I use 320kbps MP3. Same song in FLAC is brighter and better sound. Feel like want to throw away already my Sony (but still keep for other purpose ).

======
I just found out how to play all sound either in internal or external memory

Thx for clarifying my wonder..
I think i wanna give superlux a shot.. too many positive reviews.. i'm poisoned..
anyway i'm not fans of bom bom bom bassy cans.. and somehow i prefer flat or more bright than too bassy afterall..
and have u try HD669? i'm wondering if HD669 will be better than HD668b..
Will start saving soon to get a superlux..


Soon my sony will join my philips.. forever abandoned.. lol.. my gf will be glad to get my marqii lol..

@wiebie26
Haven't tried 669, but Hitman66 have. Here's his impression on HD669. Comparison against 668B is included in the review.

After reading the review, you might feel a little bothered with the “death clamp”. Worry not, it's fixable with a little headband stretching @ put in on PC casing or something.

p/s: Bro trio recently said 669 is what he's using nowadays, hinting it's better than his previously used 668B. You can try PM him @ ask at Superlux fan club thread; but he's quite busy these days. Might take him some time to reply.

@bro agnaem
Thx alot for your help bro.. i will try to pm them to clarify my wonder.. i should start saving now and hopefully i can join the superlux team soon..

Ur welcome. Good luck with your headphone hunting!
