Greetings.
I recently bought this gem from the forum, but I hardly use it at all. I use my Sansa Clip on the go and my laptop (as source) at home. This is - unfortunately - somewhere in between. The Gigabeat admittedly sounds terrific, but I have no real use for it.
The Gigabeat is rockboxed - in fact, it's one of the best supported Rockbox targets -, comes with a cradle (including line-out with great SQ), a "remote" and an A/C adapter. The capacity, as indicated in the name of the device, is 40 GB and the battery is still going very strong. Unlike the ipod, whose battery takes a massive blow using Rockbox, this neat dap goes up to 10-12 hours including the occasional skipping and booting/rebooting (with a years old battery). Oh, btw, the battery is replacable. You can either use a ipod 4G battery and resolder the connecter or you simply have to look harder and get an original Gigabeat replacement. You can recharge using either the cradle/docking-station or by connecting the Gigabeat straight via USB.
That should be all. If you have any questions, just pm me. Now let's see some pics...
I am asking 65 Euros shipped (insured, paypalled) to anywhere in Europe. If you are in Germany, we can also do a straight money transfer; that would help me get around the Paypal fees.
Here's my little head-fi feedback: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f12/tohni-341983/
If you have any questions, just pm me.
Best,
