Retails for RMB3000, which is less than $500

The sound of this product has been reviewed enough. I just wanted to say that, these retail for about $470 in China. Even if the seller got them at retail price, add $20 for shipping and stuff, they are still making over $200 per unit. This is just a...

Deceptive Specifications: does not play 24-bit Flac

Buyer beware! The specifications in this listing are deceptive; the Colorfly C4 does not play 24-bit Flac files. So if you're like the typical digital audiophile who listens to high-resolution music on Flac, then you're out of luck. You'll have to...

Colorfly Pocket HiFi C4

When it comes to sound, you get out what you put in. Enter the Colorfly C4, intended for audiophiles looking to house their 24 bit tracks in a versatile, portable unit with true Hi-Fi components.

Decodes 24 bit tracks at 192kHz sample rate; Gorgeous retro design; high quality components; powers headphones over 300 ohms without additional amplifiers

Very steep price; software and interface is very lacking, usability is no contender with more common portable music players
