Cheap flash-based Kenwood vs HD Kenwood and MGR-A7

After reading several praises for the SQ of the hard disk Media Keg and the MGR-A7 , I wonder if I should buy a flash-based Kenwood Dap (like MG-F500 series) or the old praised ones. Does anyone know if the SQ between these two kinds different or not ? Their prices are different of course

You'll have to search for the reviews on the new Kenwoods. I read them and the new flash players were reported to not sound as good as before or as good as Sony or Cowon better offerings. [Review] Kenwood MG-F500 Series, Back to the Basic « Akihabara News

You have to remember that Kenwood is part of JVC now. So it could be reasoned that Victor/JVC might just not let Kenwood best the sound of their offerings. Think of AIWA before and after Sony swallowed them up.

After checking info, it seems that the flash-based does not have Supreme technology . Does Supreme affect the SQ much ?
