Poor sound quality on X5 with RockBox
Taurus:
I just dived a little more into this.
I gotta say, I don't hear any clicks during playback, even with flacs.
But I DO hear a clicking noise on track change (just when a new track starts, crossfading enabled). (EDIT: and of course on volume change/fade-in etc...)
As for my part, I don't have a remote connected.
The clicks are a little bit better to hear with my Sennheiser CX-300 than with my Sony MDR-EX71SL, as the Sennheisers bring out heights much more than the Sony headphones.
While were on the subject: There is an astonishingly high background noise present with Rockbox!
Just switched back to OF (haven't done this in a looong time :D ) and this noise is not as strong as with Rockbox.
Maybe it's just the different EQ settings that highlight the high frequencies much more, but background noise is definitely stronger in RB than in OF.
But the worst thing for me is that you can even hear HDD noises! Go to full volume (not playing anything, of course ;) ) and e.g. run the disktidy plugin.
You'll hear, clicking, high frequency beeping... all sorts of nasty stuff!
BTW: You can hear volume change click thingy on OF too. Though not while playing a song, but when you paused playback, you'll hear clicking when changing the volume. But that's the only clicking that occured to me in OF.
Do you guys haven't got that AT ALL? Have tvg and I got super-sensitivity ears? Or maybe just defective/bad hardware?

Just disable fade in. And try to listen pause clicks.
Llorean:
Many times sounds like this won't show up in all earphones. It can depend on the impedence and response of the earphones, so it can be expected that many people won't hears this sort of thing simply because the sounds never get to their ears, not necessarily because they themselves cannot hear the sounds.

That does not mean that there is no clicks. How can clicks give enjoyment - I don't get.

Your "logic" is reversable; Just because you hear clicks doesn't mean that there are any...
I've never heard any clicks. Not in RB or OF... But then again, i don't crank the volume to 0 either...
And i use etymotic phones.
LinusN:
In any case, if the OF is better, we should strive to be equally good.
