Dell D630c (laptop) - plays 1000.02hz

Sansa E200           - plays 1000.39hz

Rio Karma             - plays 1000.48hz

Sansa Clip+           - plays 1002.47hz

 

That gives Sansa clip a pitch error of 0.247%, compared to the next player (Rio Karma) at 0.048%.


 

 

It looks like it did get improved over the original V1 clip.  I measured a 1000 Hz tone as playing back at 1007 Hz, so +0.7%.  Some others measured the same percent error by various means.   

All the players I had available were consistent with your findings… battery powered ones on the order of 10x closer than (original) clip, and AC powered ones (CD and DVD players) another leap closer yet.
