My impression is that its down to the final audio output stage...
The sound quality is the same for listening to mp3 / wma files & the FM
Tuner
Recordings made on the unit from the Tuner transferred & played on the PC
sound OK.

A couple of hints Re: these generic F/East Players ..
1) Always turn the unit of with the little slide switch at the top ...if it
is left in the software
turned of mode its in a sort of standby where the battery will go flat in 24
to 48 hours.

2) Charging from the PC USB connection does not seem to work very well
...charges very
slowly & seems to only charge to around 50% .
Use the mains charger unit.

3) The manuals for these things are incredibly bad
English...unintelligible.. you might miss some of the many features & the
adverts that sell these may state more or less that you get. ...
Dig around the menus ...if the player you have brought does not specify FM
Radio Recording
have a look in the settings ..it may in fact be there.

4) there are versions for sale claiming 8 Gig memory ...approach with great
caution as some / many
of these in reality have maybe 2 Gigs & use compression techniques to squash
in certain Video file
types to claim 8 Gig's.

There MUST be some Net place that has lots Info & Tech. details on these
Generic Cheapy things ..
Any Bunny found one (yes I have looked hard).
