G'day guys!
I'm fairly new here, but i've been watching the forums for some time now!
And i've been looking for my next DAP. I currently use an ipod classic 120gb, and although it's pretty good i'd like to try something that sounds better!
I've been looking at Sony and their X series, Cowon and their S9, and based on allll the feedback that has been provided here, they both seem excellent! However the sony is limited, expensive and the others functions - that i would appreciate to use - seem to be poorly implemented. On the other hand, the S9 is more open, plenty of formats supported, frequent updates, but with apparently a UI a bit more complicated to use. I do prefer the quality build of the sony over the S9.
But the main problem is: i'd like more capacity than 32Gb! Seriously i can't store all my music on this - especially since it's actually more like 29 usable gb!
That's precisely why i got the classic in the first place! 110 usable Gb, it's more than enough, and it's in a small package!
Then i had hope with sony's A series .... til i knew they decided to release only 16 & 32 Gb versions in EU and Asia pacific.gif "Confused Face(1)")
WTF?!
So i'm kinda desperate to find a good sounding alternative to apple. I'd love to love Cowon or Sony, but with 32gb i simply can't!
I do know however that the S9 and X series were released some time ago and deep down inside i crazily hope that improved 64gb versions are coming out! I just read a 2 months old post mentioning an eventual 64gb version of the x series...
Do you guys and any ideas or info regarding a possible/probable coming release of 64gb DAPs? Whether from Sony (although i kinda gave up on them) or Cowon? Or maybe others?
Based on previous years/experiences, do manufacturers tend to release new products at particular periods of time ?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
