lacked definition / presence and the sound was less refined. On direct comparison (same song, about the same volume) when plugging a headphone between them I noticed the clip sounded audibly different (less) compared to the X3. The X3 can play MUCH louder, it can reach 5x the output voltage of the Fuze/Clip in ‘High output’ setting. The Sandisk has a 5 band digital EQ, the X3 has ‘old fashion’ truly analog tone control (bass & treble) + also a 5 band EQ but with a limited dB range (+/-6dB) I have not experienced any issues with the X3 running on 3.4FW though. The 3.4 FW runs fine, I use an alternative ‘theme’ based on 3.4 FW. You need to ensure they are based on the 3.4 Firmware though. The LATEST FIRMWARE for FiiO products can be found HERE.įor those who like other themes there are 3rd party ‘skins/themes’ that can be downloaded.
Sansa fuze updater update#
Sometimes the player ‘hung’ and became unresponsive, this IS solved by the 3.3 Firmware.Ĭurrently I have the X3 running on 3.4 Firmware of which FiiO mentioned will be the last FW update for this model.įiiO also added a 5 band equalizer (which I do not use) in the latest firmware. The same is true for the X3, poor GUI, strange button layout, bulky and simple display. The GUI of the clip sport is not the simplest but with properly tagged files (mine are) it works O.K. When loaded with low impedance headphones they measure ‘worse’ in the THD and IMD department.įirst a comparison between Sansa clip sport and FiiO X3: NOTE: these players were NOT loaded with low impedance headphones because I use these players with an external amplifier (Kameleon) The Sansa Clip Sport differs from the Clip ZIP. The Sansa Fuze+ and Clip+ are technically similar and differ from Sansa Fuze (v2) and clip. Sansa Clip Sport, Sansa Fuze v2 (technically similar to Sansa Clip) and FiiO X3.
