Sound quality - Rockbox vs. Sport

[Kaiketsu]

Just wondering:

Which of these has better sound quality: Rockbox'd Clip+, or the regular Clip Sport?

I've been thinking about buying the Sport, and I know there's no Rockbox for it. But if the quality will be a downgrade, it's quite pointless (at least until my Clip+ works

Quality of music is the only thing that really interests me.

I haven't seen anyone test the sport so I have no idea of its any good. Most players these days are pretty good though so it wouldn't surprise me if its comparable.

I wonder if the fully stock Sport sounds better than the stock Zip? I'm still trying to decide which way to go.

Stock Clip Sport have slightly better IMD and THD but worse DR than stock Zip.

Those are unloaded tests though, so they aren't very representative of real world performance.

Thanks for the reply. Looks like I'll roll the dice and hope RB makes it on the Sport sometime soon
