MP3 players: Looking for an audiophile player
Looking for an audiophile player
by Mortimon - 9/21/07 11:26 AMUsing Shure's e4c headphones. Been looking at the new Iaudio 7, the old Sony Walkman NW-HD5. Maybe the Zen V Plus is a viable option... Been using Iaudio Cowon A2 thus far, which broke, the damned thing.
Thanks!
the iAudios

wait for the iAudio X7, the successor, should be out within a month
there's another thing you can do

The Sony has a surprisingly clean and crisp sound that you can TOTALLY customize. Rockbox is also a great alternative to the firmware on some devices as you can alter the sound on some players to your hearts content. Just be warned that I've heard through some forums that the Rockbox os can hit the battery pretty had in some cases.
