The more I use my i7, the more I love it here’s a quick summary IMO:
On the plus side:
  • Almost instant on, < 5 seconds fully loaded w/tunes
  • Sound quality (produces very good detail with a nice warm sound)!!!
  • JetEffect - various EQ and Sound Effect settings (BBE)
  • Amp (good power)
  • Great Audio support (MP3, OGG, FLAC, WAV, XviD, JPEG, TXT)
  • Display: 262K Color 1.3” 160 x 128 pixel LCD
  • Flash & Capacities: 4GB, 8GB &16GB
  • Size (nice and small, pics don’t do it justice)
  • Build Quality is excellent - for example, I’ve had mine over 6 months without a case and it looks as good as the day I bought it...btw, I prefer the naked look on a dap...
  • UMS/MTP user selectable
  • ID3 or File browsing
  • Battery life

On the down side:
  • IMO – the screen size is too small for me, which makes the fonts hard to read
  • Sensitive UI & interface - (I adapted in the 1st day, so this is a non-issue for me) and you can adjust the sensitivity in the fw
  • Some peps say one handed operation is hard, but it can be done
  • No SDHD for expansion

Overall it’s a great player...well worth the investment
Sounds nice, hmm but would it be possible for you to make a little comparison on your friends DAP and yours? I dont like cold sound, but I really like a SDHC slot
So im in a little confusion here


Regards
Jacob
