Nationite S:Flo2

Pros: Sound Quality, Line-out SQ, Vol Control is quiet and has excellent feel to it. Plays flac, works great without amp. Dual Wolfson DACs sound so smooth.

Cons: UI is worst I have ever used. Scrolling with finger forever, worst navigation in touch screen history, you grow old before you scroll to the album

I feel badly writing a negative review because I am the kind of person who tends to be grateful for the positives, and lets the negatives slide, but...I wish someone had spoken up about what a horrible, terrible job the S:Flo2 guys did on the UI. I am a software designer and programmer and I understand just how difficult it is to work with some interfaces and you have to do the best you can with what you've got, but the final product for the S:Flo should never had gotten out the door. It is NOT ready for prime time. I would need to write several hundred words to really convey to you just what a really bad interface it is and just how frustrating it is to work with. Make a mistake...

HO and LO lives up to expectations no doubt about it. -has a nifty auto off feature -has an expansion slot -if the mini plugs have no devices connected, it won't start playing the song. pretty cool. -thank god for a reset button -detects as usb mass storage so you can get to copying files straightaway without any software install.     cons: -omg incredibly lousy UI. the two default skins are atrocious. the first one is too...
