I formatted both the original 64g and the new 128g the same way, (ridgecorp fat32), and the 128g with around 80gig of .wav is running fine. Both are Kingston sd cards. So I'll just use the 64g card for something else.
I can only speak for the Benjie X1, but my experience with it has not been pleasant. If you check out the previous posts on this thread you can find what I said about it. Long story short, the interface is quite buggy at times, sometimes it gets stuck at the screen where it says you have to hold the power button for 3 seconds to turn off the player, and when I try to play music from the internal storage or my SD card there's a very noticable buzzing sound in the background which SERIOUSLY distracts me from my music. The same noise can be heard even when the volume is set to zero (so it's definitely not my music at fault here) and I can hear a small but still notable buzzing sound every time I press a button to navigate my folders on my SD card. Soundwise it sounds a tad tinny but maybe it's because I'm using the KZ ZS5 V1's, which I hear are very source dependant.
I'm just gonna give the product the benefit of the doubt and say that it's probably defective (I just got a response this morning from my seller about my request for a refund; they don't want to give my money back apparently) but I love the overall feel of the UI and build quality so much that I'm willing to buy another from a different seller to see if things end up differently.
but those sound is very small and does not interfere when playing music, i'm using iem takstar hi1200 and tfz 1s.
If you're just usIng folder view I'm sure it won't be a problem (I've used a 128GB card with my S5) but I'm not sure how the shuffle function will behave.
I received my Benjie X1 a couple of days ago as a replacement for my iPod 5g and Neco Soundlabs V3 portable-but-not-very setup.
Soundwise it's a surprise. I am certainly no audiophile so expect no fantastic review but the sound of it surprised me in a very positive way. The X1 is coupled with my trusty Koss KSC75 and I've loaded it up with the 320kbps mp3 albums I had on the iPod and there is some difference in sound but it's perfectly fine.
The combination sounds a bit more muffled than the ipod+neco does. Also the soundstage is a bit less good. But considering I can actually carry this setup around in my pocket I'm fine with that. It's a tradeoff and a very good one. The Neco is for sale if someone's interested
The interface of the X1 is archaic but it does work after some getting used to. The screen is sufficient, I can see the album cover but 1.8" is tiny. They say the screen is OLED but to me it looks more like a cheap LED screen. Not sure if there's actually an OLED in there or not...
Battery life is great. Hours on end, I've used it for 2 hours and the battery indicator was still at 100% and that's with quite some changing songs through the interface. Getting songs on it is quite slow. It's probaby USB2.0 still. I haven't checked but it sure doesn't feel like USB 3.0.
I think this player will stay with me for a couple of years. It does the trick. It sounds great enough ^_^ and it can play lossless files. Awesome deal.
It's not 100 hours but it's at least 50. In other words it's really darn good.
