Colorfly, portable audiophile players
Colorfly C4 pro
At
eden audio we are always discovering new exciting products.
Over the last few years we have taken note of a shift in the market. We have noticed a huge boom in demand for high quality portable audio products and earphones, in other words people want high quality music while on the move! Who are we to argue with that.
Thankfully here at eden audio we've recently discovered two great brands that are quite frankly offering superb products that we believe you're just going to love. One of those finds is the brand colorfly.
But what is so different about colorfly?
Colorfly saw a gap in the market, audiophiles didn't want to listen
to compressed music while on the move, in other words they didn't
want to listen to MP3, they wanted lossless audio codecs such as
FLAC and WAV.
Now colorfly have just the product to suit those more
demanding listeners needs, now you can hear your music while on the
move just the way it was supposed to sound, uncompressed!
Colorfly C4 Pro Pocket Hi-Fi is a high resolution Portable Audio Player with 32GB of memory and a Micro-SD expansion slot.
Colorfly's main goal is very simple, a portable player that allows the user to play high resolution files via a high quality audiophile DAC and components meaning up 24bit/19KHz 2 WAV files can be played, along with up to 16/44.1 FLAC, APE and MP3 are all able to be played to your favorite headphone or use the built in DAC and output to your existing Hi-Fi using the S/PDIF coaxial socket. The files can then be upsampled to 24/88.2, 24/96, 24/176.4, and 24/192. The Colorfly C4 Pro Pocket Hi-Fi is a beautifully designed, easy to use high resolution audio player that is unique and sounds equally as impressive. To add your favorite music to your C4 Pro, simply drag and drop your music files on to the flash based 32GB built in Hard Drive or on to the micro SD card (Not Supplied). If you have a lot of FLAC files this player is perfect to grab and go.

Classic Walnut Case.
The outer case of the C4 Pro Pocket Hi-Fi player is made of high quality black regius walnut sourced from North America. This gives each owner a truly unique player as the real wood cover has a long wave like grain with clear annual rings and is finished in a smooth gloss making each C4 Pro truly unique.
The Colorfly team chose to process the wood by using specially designed machines in controlled environment in a workshop with a constant temperature and humidity so that the wood doesn't expand or contract while being worked. The engraving and the special curve on the wood are all crafted by hand.
High End Sound is not a Fluke
The excellent 24bit/192KHz sound quality is largely down to the high quality chipset that is used in the Colorfly C4Pro, the Cirrus Logic CS4398 DAC (Digital-to-Analogue Converter ) high end DAC chip which produces extremely high quality acoustics with a dynamic range of up to 120dB, as well as an extremely high decoding rate able to decode 24bit/192KH. Cirus Logic DACs are normally found in Chord Electronics equipment and high end Marantz CD players
Classic style turns to Classic functionality
The Colorfly C4 Pro uses the flagship pro-audio series of the famous ALPS volume potentiometer from Japan. The dust cover and grounding connection were ordered according to the specifications set out by the designers of the Pocket HiFi player. This specific potentiometer was used as it enables the Pocket HiFi C4 Pro to adjust the channel volume in both channels accurately without a significant difference in levels between the left and right channels. The rate of the volume error was lower than 5% on average after 1,000 hours. The volume error rates of the HiFi player have been measured 15% lower than the official data supplied by ALPS.
The Colorfly C4 Pro Pocket HiFi is an MP3 Player like no other, it looks utterly bonkers and has a sound quality rivaled only by a top end Hi-Fi. With it's complex chassis design and specific component selection the C4 Pro offers the ultimate in high quality sound reproduction. Their patented 'Jitter Killer' technology adds to the quality by using two TCXO high precision crystal Oscillators and the CS8422 SRC chip from Cirrus Logic to output an unbelievable rate of jitter which is lower than 5ps.
