Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is the best portable music player I have owned. Why? I will list all the points which were very valuable to me: 1- You cannot beat the price. My other 2 portable players are Sony 16 GB Mp3 players. I use one exclusively at the gym. The other is is connected with a line level cable [FiiO L5 Line Out Dock Cable] to a Fiio Andes Dac/Amp. I use this mainly with my Audio-Technica ATH-M50. The Sonys are great except limited to 16 GB and no lossless flac option 2- Love that the output can be switched between headphone or line level out. I use the line out option connected to a Fiio E12 with FiiO L16 cable. My Senn HD 650 have never sounded so good. My future set up will be using a Schiit Tube amp using this player as source. 3- I am mainly a "Listen to album" kind of guy, so not being able to make playlist was not a issue, but Fiio has fixed that with the latest firmware update. It supports M3U playlists. I was not able to sync flac music using Windows media player. I use foobar2000 to create and sync playlists. You have to search the web as to how, not hard, just how you lay the path. Very doable 4- Currently have a 64gb card in it, most of the music is lossless Flac with some 320 kbps mp3. Will upgrade to 128 GB SD soon. At my current set up $100 for the player + $16 for the F16 cable and $34 for the 64 gb card. = $150 unbeatable, from my view point I bought another one for the wife, she will be using without the E12 and with Senn HD 555. It sounds great without the Amp. For HD 650 yes a AMP is a must Other helpful hints: Change the back ground to Orange. Much easy to see. I set the screen timeout to 2 min and the next and back song button active when screen times out. Useful apps: mp3tag: to tag the music if not already done at the time of ripping or to add album cover as some of the free flac rippers do not add album covers I forgot this music player had me buy about $250 worth of CDs. Some of my music was 160 kbps rips and I had lost those CDs over the years. I was able to get most of the ones and a lot more, either used on Amazon or ebay. I am hearing them as I have never heard before. I hope this helps.
