I kinda just try to stay away from the touch screen scene. Although Apple does it in spades and makes it quite easy to navigate. I'm so in love with the Studio V though for its simple and fast UI. I just like getting to the point, and don't need those extras for a FLAC DAP.

I hear you on the touch screen. If I am out and about, that's when I use one of my rockboxed Clip Zips or my Shuffle....the Touch I'll use either at home, or wherever I am going if I bring it with me.

It made my Touch sound as good or better than any other player I've tried....Rockboxed Sansas, Cowons, Samsungs, the iPod 5G with the Wolfson chip, Zune HD....all through the headphone-out. I haven't tried the latest Classic, but I doubt that it sounds better than my Touch can sound.

Thanks.I'll try it out.

The ZO2 is the only device that has ever made my Touch sound 'good', and its still not as enjoyable as the HO from my T51.

Is there a service that can replace the chip with wolfson to improve the sound on my iPhone.

I think I'll stick with my Studio V and IE80. No need to carry around a ticking time bomb and still have amazing sound quality with a Class A amp and 85+ hours of FLAC playback time .

Studio v do not have a real CLASS A amp.Somebody ripped it open to have it conformed.

Estreeter only if you knew the power of the Studio V lol :wink:

. Makes the T51 look like a rag doll in comparison.

Whatever is in there is sounds amazing. I also thought the amp was unmarked so how can they be sure? At least to my knowledge its not drawing power constantly like a class A amp normally does. If anything couldn't the amp be rated at Class A but not constantly draw at full load?
