There will likely be differences in the sound produced on two different
models of DAP running Rockbox, due to the fact they will have different
cicuitry for the sound output from the DAC. Rockbox cannot circumvent
this essential difference. So, if you are looking for the 'best' sound
from a DAP running you will need to do some research, either listening
to them yourself or maybe on the internet you may(!) get a worthwhile
opininon from someone. Good luck with that though.
