It has very little storage. The device would need a hard drive and one around 80gb or more.

With the ability to be a usb host, that shouldn't really be a show stopper.
That said, there are lots of 8" or so ultra portables. Dynamism.com - Next Generation Japanese Notebooks and Electronics for examples.

Vicki, looking (and listening to) your K2 HD at the Florida meet, it had an insert of the upcoming releases with dates and contents, so I was confused about Chris Isaak too. Most of the music is classical and/or offbeat, non-mainstream stuff.
However that Chris Isaak CD is an excellent listen.
..and if the comment made about veterans leading the thread astray and offering input other than just about the Predator, then I stand guilty and my apologies. If it was about members offering misleading info to a N00B then that's something different (as theMonkey asked).
Sometimes when a thread is going off topic, a little levity can bring it back and add a little enjoyment. I'm glad that the OP (J8) didn't take offense and ran along with it too, until we reached back where we belong.

Right, and I'd been following the new releases, or so I thought, but since we were both confused by same, I can only say we're both a little stupid.  I looked back at jamato8's post, and he had the two CDs separated by a paragraph space.

It's quite freeing, Mike. Try it sometime. If you need help, I'll be glad to take notes of your conversations at Mayberry and read them back to you.

I can't count the times I've admitted to it. Having said that, reading me my conversations from Mayberry should be pretty enteraining.

Typing it up for others to see should be more entertaining.
Apologies to all for messing up this thread again. Blame the two unruly mods. That's what I'm going to do.

Absolutely! Here's a happy train going west to Mayberry. Look, Mike! They've a stewardess-nurse on board. She might not be Tina, but the nurse bit could come in handy.
The Predator would be perfect to take on a coast-to-coast train ride.
* Checking out that smooth segue, aren't you? Yep. I may be stupid, but I'm good.

Good and stupid . . . . I can see this is spiraling out of control. . . where is that bottle of pills, or just a bottle. . .
I have been comparing just the amp section of the Predator to the P2, very close with a little more recessed mid and slightly more detail in the upper mid than the P2 and the Reference has just a bit more Open sound. Take this in the context that the Predator is still breaking in. with around 400 hours on it. On the rest of the frequency range I want to wait, these are just a couple of things that pop out. The sound of a drum stick hitting the drum has a more defined sound on the Predator than the P2 at this point. I do have some different opamps coming for the P2, which makes it more difficult to pin down. They all sound pretty darn good. I am using the feed from my Monica II dac for all three amps.

Thank you for that update J8!
Hey, if we flew in a Predator Drone, coast to coast, while listening to the Predator with both uncompressed flac and alac files digitally, and through an iMod or iRiver using the line out, analogically, would that be like Predator squared?
See? I can stay on topic! Not that dum, meh?
