I have no idea, and the X7 isn't exactly high tech either. Resistive touch screen that isn't accurate, read about it being a bit laggy, limited video codec support (no problem if audio is your priority), and some firmware bugs as well. Not to mention only barely pocketable and very heavy (over 200g). A mixed bag of reviews really. Others say its UI is customizable to the point of not being that annoying anymore, not steep of a learning curve, easy to get used to, literally days of playback time, and after calibration the touch screen can be quite accurate, and lag isn't all that bad. Other than that its SQ is highly commended. I think what I would do is, search for a forummer here who is selling it (I know of only one, MrJinggles), ask if they have any X7 in stock, and ask for a test run.

There is also another option, which is the Ipod Classic, but it cannot play FLAC, but ALAC (Apple lossless). I don't know of any other PMP that has that large a capacity.

yeah.. but heard the classic can be rockbox to play flac

Sansa Fuze+'s touch pad control takes some time to get used to, and does respond incorrectly sometimes. Battery life however is better for the Fuze+, and the screen lets you display album arts and such and is quite alright under bright light. Why not get something in between like the Clip Zip? Doesn't have better or worse battery life than the Clip+ but with a bigger and better screen to let you see your album art and you won't have to squint your eyes as often. tongue.gif

They should have a similar sound signature. One more thing though, people seems to report it having a slightly lower battery life compared to Clip+, so I may be wrong about the battery life on the Zip.
I've only had the Fuze+, but I hear people say it has the Sansa sound, and the Fuze+ sounded quite good paired with my PL50 and Radius DDM at the time. They all should sound similar to each other, with minor, and depending on the ears and IEM/headphone used, noticeable differences.

So for bigger screen, bigger and more ergonomic form, longer playback time, Fuze+.
For maximum portability, easy navigation and more tactile feel (it has buttons, better IMO than touch pad), the Clip+. Dunno about Zip but Rockbox is available for Clip+.
For displaying album art in a player as small as a Clip+, maximum portability, the Zip.

Which phone has the best SQ output?
Or is it best to get a dedicated player instead?

Hi guys, I am planning to get a mp3 player.

My main concern:
- Budget around RM200 - 300
- Able to play FLAC
- Long battery life
- LCD screen is optional, use it mostly for jogging and output to my car audio
- Built in AMP??

I have Cube C30 in mind but however heard some feedback about the QC is inconsistent. I don't want to pay for the stuff that can use a while then broken.
Any idea about Sansa series? or other brands for recommendation?

Hope to get some kind feedback and recommendation from Audiophile sifu(s) notworthy.gif

sansa is very good out of the box, and is quite durable, small but packs features and support multi format (flac, mp3 etc etc), has decent power to drive headphone/earphones

C30 u need to consider the QC on the product, some including mine died off slowly, system also quite problematic

sansa clip+ is a good choice, or if cant find then sansa fuze, they are better established and with better quality
