I preferred the sound of my Voodoo'd SGS to my N8, but the N8 is a very fine sounding phone. The 808 is very close to the same sound as the N8 to my ears, slightly improved if anything.

Has any user tried IEMs with N8? Did you hear any hiss or frequency peaks/valleys? Thanks!

I wouldn't say 5mins at all. I did this the other day and it might just have taken 2 minutes to boot up and have me listening to a track off the powered harddrive

Thanks for the information, we were both only speculating about what the longest likely time frame would be for indexing.

Thanks for your comment! Yeah I was just speculating.
So your ~2min booting time was with what capacity hard drive filled with how many GBs of content? It would be nice to know as reference. Thanks again.

1.5TB hard drive and about 1.4TB full. I actually just tested it and had the song running in 53seconds, might make a difference that its a active rather than passive hard-drive (i.e. wall powered not USB powered)

 

By the way nice to see another kiwi around NZtechfreak
