Colorfly C4 Pro 32GB Pocket HiFi high resolution music player 24bit 192kHz. Do with expanding, but firmware updates are appearing that add functionality. Dec 18, 2010 - Colorfly C4: Review by Headfonia - The Headphone Enthusiasts' Website. The vintage finishing on the faceplate, the pro-grade ALPS slider for volume. It will only play Flac at 16/44 although a new firmware update is.
Internals DAC The C10 uses the same DAC chip as the C4 Pro, the Cirrus Logic CS4398. This is also the same chip used by AK in their AK100 MK2 as well as the FiiO X3 generation 2 which I quite liked for its neutral and clean sound. Decoding rates are competitive with a 32-bit/192kHz capability as well as decoding capability from lossy formats such as MP3 up to DSD64 and DSD128. When you compare the C10 to the X3 3rd gen that is, in fact, a superior level of sampling and decoding. The X3iii will only stretch to 24/192k and DSD64.
Jitter Control The C10 uses the same jitter suppression technology as the C4 which is impressive. This is something they made a big deal out of when launching the C4 and the same is true today. The CS4398DAC chip already touts itself as a good choice for low jitter results.

This combined with the original C4 TCXO crystal Oscillators and a clock sitting just behind the TCXO setup will do a pretty good job in noise suppression from any potential unwanted digital conversion hiccups. Amp From what I am being told the C10 uses the same amp as the C200 DAP with both delivering 80 mW (32 Ω) from their single ended 3.5mm outputs. THD numbers are not quite as strong as the CS200 at 0.003% compared to 0.0012%. Side by side to the X3iii the numbers remain competitive. The X3iii delivers ≤ 0.002% (1 kHz) and a 113dB SNR. The C10 on paper is delivering an SNR of 112dB though I am not sure if this was a weighted measurement.
I will presume both were done under a 32Ω load given the primary output power was listed under similar weightings. The M3s does off a bit more though with a THD+N of 0.0015%（A-weighting, outputing 500mV）and a better SNR of 115dB.
I will tell you though that the noise floor on the C10 is spot on and very low, lower than the X3iii, especially for super-efficient IEMs. What does worry me is the 16Ω output impedance rating.
If that is correctly measured than low-z IEMs are going to be all over the place acoustically. Software Platform The C10 uses an Ingenics JZ4760 processor chip with a SOC OS based on Linux. All the boards in the Jz47xx series consist of an XBurst processor, which is a MIPS processor clocked at 240->400Mhz.
At the time of launch, this was a chip of choice for Chinese media players with the likes of FiiO being one of the key champions using it in their HiBy Music powered X1, X3, X3II. Even their latest X3iii uses the B variant of the JZ4760 so it is by no means a deprecated chip in today’s media market. Linux All these players use a SOC Linux variant and share some common UX traits. They are designed to run quickly, with low GPU and almost no multitasking on the CPU. I can’t say for sure if the kernels are shared or open source but the workflow of the software always seems to follow similar patterns. They are quick to boot, have a list based system that is reasonably linear in navigation and delivers a useful array of software controlled hardware functionality.
Over time some companies load up the software with quite a few features such as FiiO but as in the case of the X3iii, it will slow things down. The C10, on the other hand, has fewer features and is all the quicker for it.
Importantly and in the case of the C10, it is quite stable with very few if any bugs during its operation. Features There is no external connectivity save for a USB-DAC functionality with PC and MACs in the latest firmware. All features orientate around audio playback. In fact, the C10 is a no messing around straight to the media library upon boot up device. From the home page, you have basically two sections to the OS, the settings, and the media manager.
