ONDA or Meizu

Do ONDA and Meizu have the same soundchip ?

Depends, of course, on what models. Meizu will have superior quality though.

Does it come with superior quality stuttering sound?

The sound quality from Meizu is far superior from Onda. I used to have the Onda 858 and 747, Onda is a class lower.
I NEVER (and I mean really never) had stuttering sound on my M6SL.

I have never had the infamous stuttering problem as well. Meizu FTW!

ondas` newer players (747, 767, 777 etc) are best as video players, they do not have any advanced chips etc to handle audio and the built in one on the main chip is all but OK, if you want a player for audio quality the meizu is your man, want good video performance with multiple formats etc then go down the onda route, but suffer with lower quality audio, and a less well rounded player, they are good, but not up to meizu standard yet

Well... your are truly biased... "I NEVER (and I mean really never) had stuttering sound on my M6SL"... this proud statement doesn't mean that this doesn't exists... it have been accepted as a problem by Meizu spokesman... kindly read here... in fact it's a very shameful issue.

It's not true that Onda VX858 >> RK -2608A + Wolfson WM8750S... has "a far inferior" sound... this chips combination plus Microsoft PlayFX put the sound of VX858 in the same level of Meizu players... but as a device Meizu is better functionally than Onda players...

Anyway this topic "sound quality" it's extremely subjective... at the end each user invents his own reason to make others believe that his device has best sound than others.

BTW I own a Onda VX858, a Meizu M3 and a Cowon D2... and I won't lie to others saying which one have better sound.

Idk why some of you guys have the stuttering problem. I don't have it on my m3, I have mostly VBR mp3s and some 192kbps - 320kbps mp3s. :/ Well, I think that it has happened before on like 2 songs (of over 2000 different played on the player) which isn't an big issue for me.

DaremoS, I don't understand how he is biased for saying that he has never had that problem. He didn't say that the problem didn't existed.

This issue depends on the habits as a listener of MP3 music in the Meizu player... the people which rip his own material won't have problems, except if its added cover art too big embedded in TAGS.

The people who download MP3 from the net, ripped by others, have more possibilities to have stutter... specially if were used old encoders, if the files get affected during the transmission, if the original rippers add big cover art using rare programs or rare programs are used for tagging.

You really don't feel that he is claiming that the problem doesn't exists?

... if such is the case is me who is biased...

Just out of curiosity though, which player do you think sounds better?

Sincerely that's very hard to say... my choices would be Meizu, D2 and Onda in that order. Maybe I have influences by to the functionality of players... if it weren't by this stutter issue I would doubt saying that Meizu sound is my favourite.

Anyway... by far my favourite player of them all is Cowon D2 which is a device which is in other level... whose capability I haven't see in other players yet.

True. The D2 has had many new innovative additions since its release on the market. The flexibility of the OS is quite astounding.

The D3 should be incorporating a capacitative (i think i spelt that right) touch screen, and should be a direct competitor to the itouch (which i feel like buying right now )

We are completely out of topic... but anyway... I think that only thing needed by D2 it's a bigger screen.

If D3 will be sort of iTouch with all the functions of D2 (support for lots of formats), it will be a knock-out... but there's a big problem: Korean stuff is as costly as USA stuff.

In such case will be more affordable a Chinese: Meizu M7 (who knows?), a Teclast T50 (for the moment the best option) or Onda 767 (only if this player has an audio decoder... I think it doesn't have one!!!) or any Chinese brand (Oppo for instance) with a good audio decoder.

Do not buy the iPod Touch until they stick a better audio chip in that thing. I've tested one, and the misuc sounds tinny, empty, and basically like it's coming from a speaker made from foil.

Either that or the MP3's were encoded at 1KiB/s

I had a friend that bought a Bose docking station for his iPod, turned it on, sounded like crap. That's why I normally like earphones that have the amp themselves, the quality is unmatched.

Trust me the Bose Docking Station sounds great. I've tried my iPod on one. Although I agree In-Ear earphones cannot be beat in terms of SQ, and Isolation.

lol, I personally havent heard one before, but I saw a guy using it on the bus, seemed pretty slick and very responsive to touch. I would go for the teclast T50, but certain firmware issues keep me from spending on it. M7 needs to come out soon.

I meant he had really badly encoded mp3s.
