I know the it has been said that the battery lasts between 7 and 9 hrs, I guess this is with headphones attached, Has anyone tried using the line out to an external amp? I am wondering if this will increase battery life. Also I am sure this has been discussed but you can listen and charge at the same time right?


Even more sold now . i was about to ask if i could hook this gem into my home stereo ,but decided to read 1st , and yes i can
 
Next inquiry would be some quality cables and what type ?
 
Cheers

Hmm which one??

Yeah it was something obscure that came out early last year i believe.  It seemed like a transitional product before the spec got the full go ahead and then got revised.  Probably the same thing as sdxc but they just couldn't label it xc yet.  I was surprised to see it.  If I find it I'll let you know.

I've been thinking precisely the same thing, the past few days!
 
Yet again, the record companies are back to their same old greedy tricks of ripping-off the honest record-buying public and encouraging piracy as a consequence. They never learn!
 
They're only charging so much for high-res reissues of old back-catalogue stuff because iTunes haven't yet started offering high-res downloads. "Make hay while the sun (briefly) shines", as they say, but they're shooting themselves in the foot by being so damned greedy.


Is hdtracks not legit ? i dont understand this .

I contacted HDtracks and they stated, after i asked if they ever upsampled, edit: that they never upsample. I have read otherwise from other sources but HDtracks states they do not.

I modified the DX100 with a couple of Black Gate 33uf 16v non polar caps for the low pass filter. They will require some burn in but for me, nothing is better than Black Gate nonpolars. In the signal path, I have even compared them to teflon and copper and oil (in the past) and they are right up there. An amazing cap that is sadly no longer available and it is doubtful anything will surpass their ability to pass a signal or do their wonders in the analog section.
