How does the Sansa clip+ compare to audiophile sound cards?

If I already set -9db as a threshold, loud mid frequencies such as trumpets start to crackle. Can't reproduce even at 24 dB compression. Can you post your complete config file? Its possible its due to a combination of DSP effects.# .cfg file created by rockbox 3.7.1 - [url=http://www.rockbox.org]http://www.rockbox.org[/url] volume: -18 balance: 0 bass: 0 treble: 0 channels: stereo stereo_width: 100 shuffle: off repeat: off contrast: 0 backlight timeout: 20 backlight timeout plugged: 30 invert: off flip display: off selector type: bar (inverse) statusbar: top scrollbar: left scrollbar width: 6 volume display: graphic battery display: graphic time format: 24hour show icons: on idle poweroff: 10 max files in playlist: 10000 max files in dir: 1000 battery capacity: 290 car adapter mode: off force fm mono: off backlight filters first keypress: off caption backlight: off scroll speed: 10 scroll delay: 1000 bidir limit: 50 Screen Scrolls Out Of View: off scroll step: 6 screen scroll step: 16 scroll paginated: off play selected: on party mode: off volume fade: off scan min step: 1 seek acceleration: normal start directory: / show files: all sort case: off sort dirs: alpha sort files: alpha sort interpret number: numbers show filename exts: view_all follow playlist: off playlist viewer icons: on playlist viewer indices: on playlist viewer track display: track name recursive directory insert: on autocreate bookmarks: off autoupdate bookmarks: off autoload bookmarks: off use most-recent-bookmarks: off peak meter clip hold: 60 peak meter hold: 500ms peak meter release: 8 peak meter dbfs: on peak meter min: 60 peak meter max: 0 peak meter clipcounter: off talk menu: off talk dir: off talk dir clip: off talk file: off talk file clip: off talk filetype: off Announce Battery Level: off rec timesplit: off rec sizesplit: off rec channels: mono rec mono mode: L+R rec split type: Split rec split method: Time rec source: mic prerecording time: 3 rec path: /Record/ cliplight: off rec mic gain: 23 rec left gain: 23 rec right gain: 23 rec frequency: 44 rec format: wvpk mp3_enc bitrate: 192 trigger start threshold dB: -45 trigger start threshold linear: 5 trigger stop threshold dB: -45 trigger stop threshold linear: 10 trigger start duration: 1s trigger stop duration: 5s trigger min gap: 10min trigger mode: repeat trigger type: stop folder navigation: on gather runtime data: off replaygain type: track shuffle replaygain noclip: on replaygain preamp: 0 beep: weak crossfade: shuffle or man track skip crossfade fade in delay: 0 crossfade fade out delay: 0 crossfade fade in duration: 2 crossfade fade out duration: 2 crossfade fade out mode: crossfade crossfeed: off crossfeed direct gain: -15 crossfeed cross gain: -60 crossfeed hf attenuation: -160 crossfeed hf cutoff: 700 eq enabled: off eq precut: 0 eq band 0 cutoff: 60 eq band 1 cutoff: 200 eq band 2 cutoff: 800 eq band 3 cutoff: 4000 eq band 4 cutoff: 12000 eq band 0 q: 7 eq band 1 q: 10 eq band 2 q: 10 eq band 3 q: 10 eq band 4 q: 7 eq band 0 gain: 0 eq band 1 gain: 0 eq band 2 gain: 0 eq band 3 gain: 0 eq band 4 gain: 0 dithering enabled: off timestretch enabled: off compressor threshold: -12 compressor makeup gain: off compressor ratio: 4:1 compressor knee: soft knee compressor release time: 500 dircache: off tagcache_ram: off tagcache_autoupdate: off default codepage: iso8859-1 warn when erasing dynamic playlist: on hold_lr_for_scroll_in_list: on show path in browser: current directory fm_region: eu Last.fm Logging: off fmr: - fms: /.rockbox/wps/cabbiev2.fms font: /.rockbox/fonts/08-Namil.fnt wps: /.rockbox/wps/cabbiev2.wps sbs: - lang: /.rockbox/langs/deutsch.lng kbd: - cuesheet support: off skip length: track start in screen: root iconset: viewers iconset: list_accel_start_delay: 2 list_accel_wait: 3 keyclick: off keyclick repeats: off playlist catalog directory: /Playlists qs top: show files qs left: shuffle qs right: repeat qs bottom: show files prevent track skip: off Semitone pitch change: off Timestretch mode: off ui viewport: - resume rewind: 5 I can also (tomorrow) provide audio, if you wish.Another problem is, that Rockbox produces kind of digital noise on every track change for 2 seconds, I've tested it with vorbis, mp3 and musepack now. I've never heard of this. If you can suggest someway to reproduce it, I'll look into it. Hmm, it clearly appears here. I'll look closer if it's only on manual change or if the display is on or whenever and report back.Anyway, Rockbox rocks pretty much
