Any alternative to Cowon X7? HDD player inside

Hello guys, I am a not-so-satisfied owner of a Cowon X7: too big, too heavy and the touchscreen is driving me crazy. I regret my S9... 

Anyway, is there any alternative with an audio quality comparable to Cowon and at least 80/120 gigabytes hdd storage?

 

 

Thx!

Don't go for a Cowon C2, it has an OK touchscreen but it is sooooooooo small.  It has a 16gb capacity which isn't enough for my flac files.  The cases stop the charging and syncing cable from entering the device fully and the video quality isn't as good as expected.

Thanks for the tip. I've the same problem: lots of flac files to store, that's why I sold my Cowon S9 for an X7. But I miss everything, except storage.

If storage is the only issue you're having with the S9 it may be worth upgrading to a J3. That micro SD card slot can make all the difference.

So J3 has an internal storage ( up to 32GB ) plus SD slot? Is it possibile to use them both or there are limitations?

You can use them both, the J3 will merge the files for you. By adding a 32GB micro SD, it's basically a 64GB player. And if that's not enough you can always carry another card.
