Default One place...

http://www.shopsuntec.com

I bought my U2 from them - ordered it on the 22nd of April, they shipped it on the 24th, received it on the 26th. I had arranged a special deal with Stephanie beforehand due to a price match I had found and she was happy to work it out with me. My experience with SunTec hsa been very reliable and pleasant.

Of course, you may have to wait months until you get your X5, since there is no set date as of now concerning the US release. But you can pre-order from SunTec, and they have a very respectable price.

(Another tip - go to http://www.iaudiophile.net/forums and register an account. Then when you pre-order, enter the coupon code to show that you're a member of iAudiophile's forums. You'll get an extra $10 discount.)

Did it already. Thanks for the advice. ABTW, Stephanie seems to think she will receive them anyday now. $339 for iAudiophile members. You should be able to pre-order Friday. We'll see.

Damn, flac and ogg support, 40gb - and how's the EQ on this thing? Any custom presets? Sounds like a real winner though!

I've been wanting one of these. But, I needed something and got an iAudio U2. I like it but it has a weak headphone out - 13mw / channel @ 16 ohm. That's fine for its size. But...The X5 is has the same specs for the headphone output which I think is ridiculous. I had a karma which went to dap heaven. That had an acceptable headphone output, great line out too. As for suntec, they were great to me. I price matched too. Shipped very quickly.

X5 is actually quite close than M3 in terms of specification.
the only major difference is a colour LCD display on the main unit, and has USB OTG.

All other specifications including codecs support are almost the same.
