Clip or Price dip? Which one has better sound? E250 or Clip?

Alright, cool!

I guess, there are no differences regarding sound quality between the Clip and the Clip FM, right?

I'd guess the only difference is only the FM chip. So no there should not be a difference.

Ummm...don't all North American Clips have FM? It's just the Europeans that don't.

If you're really focused on sound quality, try a more 'audiophile' setup...

I'm using the following:

- Sandisk Sansa Clip 2gb

- C&C Box+ Headphone Amp

- Shure SE530 In Ear Monitors

Awesome Sonic Experience!

That's comparing it to either the (stock) E2xx or the Creative MuVo v100.

The only micro DAP that can truly rival the Sansa Clip, sonically, is the iRiver S10.

BTW, the Clip is also the sound quality champ when pit against both my Sansa View/16gb and E280/RockBox...

Agreed, the clip has excellent SQ over many daps on the market today, certainly blows away my e200 series... I've been testing it as a source w/woo6 amp and listening on HD650's, no tweaking sounds awesome Just don't forget to throw away the included ear buds.

As soon as I can find $500 to make my $50 Clip sound even better, I'll be right there with you ...

I haven't heard any improvement in SQ with the Clip since throwing out the Sansa buds. I am using Shure E4c with mine & have never even unwraped the provided buds. I took your advice & threw the Sansa buds in the trash, but I didn't hear any change in SQ of the unit.
OK, Just to add my 2 cents, I am very pleased with the sound of the Clip. Compared to the Sansa E250, Samsung K5 & S5, the Clip sounds great! I think the Samsungs sound better than the E250 & hold their own against many of the more expensive units out there. BTW The Clip will fit in the case provided with the E4c phones with the phones in there too! It's a very nice package. I will be traveling with it for the next month, so I appreciate the physical size.
