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.

That kind of logic is not reversable. If you don't hear - you just don't listen.
Taurus:
Sorry tvg, I don't see what you quoted from me... ???
But I do hear the pause clicks (and stop clicks when shutting down).
As for the different headphones:
I think you're right, the clicky thing mainly depents on what headphones you're using.
As I mentioned, the noises are stronger on my Sennheisers. That's for example why I don't use them on my Dell office computer, because with the Sennheisers I've got unbearable beeping and humming noises (coming from the low quality onboard soundcard, the HDD & other components I guess), which I don't hear with my Sony headphones.
But still, there are clicks in Rockbox that I can hear even with my Sony MDR-EX71SL.

True to some extent; I don't (haven't) crank the volume to max and search for clicks and imperfections.
If you search for it hard enough you will find it, what ever it is.
tvg:
The better headphones you use, the better you hear the clicks. When listening quiet music, the clicks are terrible.
More of that: RockBox shuts down on X5 with terrible Click (and screen garbage), while OF shuts down silently (with blank screen too).

Just listen to queit music in quiet place. I agree with

And the sound quality of OF (except gapless) is better, fact.
LinusN:
I hear the clicks quite clearly when I crank the volume to the max with my EX-71's. I just haven't heard it before, since it is downright painful to listen to music at that volume level (with those earbuds).
