This is overpriced to begin with considering its power output and capabilities (there are equivalents for much, much less, like the Fiio X5 ii), and then massdrop makes it more expensive than many other retailers. Not even a little more - a significant amount. No wonder it has zero purchases.
IlluminatiTriangleFeatures aside, the c10 is better sounding than fiio x5 ii. Not even a little more - significantly better. But yes, you can get a c 10 at JD for 144. bucks now which is a better deal. Overall, I am tired of people watching the specs and drawing conclusion without any real life experience with a product.
IlluminatiTriangleAnd even at 200 it' s. better sounding than anything I have heard and that includes almost all fiios, xduoo x3 and x10, dx50 and dx 80, ak jr, lotoo paw 5000, sony nw-a35 and a bunch more
kova4aI own Colorfly C200 and C3 as well...
C200 is of. spectacular clarity and soundstage easily outperforms any fiio dap outhere...
But it is retro style as well addresses to anyone looking just for the sound quality soundwise is exceptional....but i do also believe that C10 should be at 100$ given that up to date features as 2.5mm trrs out are missing there...
alexandrosI'm sorry but that is a bit of a ridiculous justification. That's like sayong the iphone 8 is great but there is the iphone x which is more advanced so the iphone 8 should codst $99 bucks
kova4aYes it makes a lot of sense in the case of what colorfly C10 offers for todays measares
Dont forget that we are actuallytalking about a totally outdated dap
Even if i bought 1 year ago C200 for 200$ and never regret that purchase from colorfly because the sound is amazing Massdrop is supposed to get some really nice deals for out of date and production daps such as C10......You like it or not is completely another issue there.......But given the fact that in thsi price range you can easily find great sounding daps with balanced outputs updated UIs bluetooth functionality. With quality dacs such as lets say for example... Cayin N3 at 150 $ retailing price what exactly is trying to sell massdrop here at 200$ ..........i really cannot understand....at this price range no discount included Cayin N3 or Aune M1s dor example are way more better choises than C10
And consider that i am saying all these stuff ...being allready a supporter of Colorfly products for long time
alexandrosNo it doea not. Yeah, there are DAPs with bluetooth and touchscreens, all smartphones can do that. If someone goes for audiophile DAP sound qualify comes first coz other wide an phone can do that. And yeah, n3 was 120 on JD and m1s was 80 and c10 still destroyed them,, still doing ge you. So you got a c200 and never heard c10 but based on features you bash on the c10. Features are not everything.
kova4aYou just dont get it man.....
Off course i knew about C10......when i choosed to buy C200...both prices were close enough that time i purchased C200....
And if you want to know the whole story i prefered C200 baaed on the sabre ESS9018 dac chip and the reviews based strictly on sound quality....C200 anyway is more out dated than C10 itself....i prefer listening to C200 (which by the way doesnt support image display at all like aune m1s....)more than ibasso DX80 or X3ii (i do own those as well)
So as you see i am not a man of features and fireworks....
I go strictly for the sound and nothing more than this cares me.....
Based on all that i do insist that C10 at 200$ is quite overpriced as a supposed massdrop "discounted item"...at this price you can find excellent sound quality with advanced additional functions on many other daps (hidizs AP100 ....or ihifi770 for example....)
