technicality of the players ain't the issue, the issue is are you satisfied with the music u r listening using it, do u feel the AT shallow sounding? does it need high volume to play? full drive or not i leave it to the AT fanatics to tell you

ipad normally people recommend using line out dock to an external amp then to your end product headphone

but one thing's for sure, mp3 format is lossy format, so you will lose some audio detail in it, noticeable or not depends on your view, recommend use lossless format like FLAC or ALAC

5th

the DAC and amp inside was supposedly better than the 6th gen, according to head-fi

yep, there's a risk there

well, they all are different.
c30 and gumstick has BBE, x19HD has hardware bass boost
gumstick is class A amp, battery dies faster, but cleaner sound
c30 is class AB, longer lasting battery than gumstick
c30 and gumstick only 3 line text, x19HD more than that
c30 and gumstick sd expeandable, x19hd is no expand
c30 and x19hd near price, gumstick more than the range
c30 and x19hd have stock, gumstick no stock

a simpler answer, c30 is your choice, leave the technicality to "when you graduate"

either cube c30 or X19HD

cube c30 is sold by Slevin Sent, and X19HD by hongrui

better go for Teclast X19HD, a very powerful budget player with low/high gain, bass boost, eq, SRS, able to drive (some) demanding headphones

nope, IMHO is 2 different items

only some getting used to, problems wise still not found any, except your song tagging which might get weird, which is your fault and not the player, lol

x19hd has a "browse" ability, good for ppl likes foldering, they also will separate the tracks into category like artist, album etc

currently hongrui has some stock, but dunno he sold all or not, i ain't gonna sell mine unless full price offered, haha, but i think it should be at RM180 or lesser
