That's just weird!! It's not available there yet? I just picked up an S639 from Amazon UK, which arrived today. It's like someone took the 829, stuck it on a boil wash, and out popped the shrunken 639 version

I noticed someone asking if it was 'fatiguing' like the 618. Well, I had the 618 for 24 hours before selling it, not because it was fatiguing, but because it sounded almost the same as my 808, which isn't as 'warm' as the 829. So I'm looking forward to trying the new one... when I get the music transferred, that is. I think the Westone 3 will come out before I ever finish transferring, what is is with the snail-like transfer speeds?

I wonder if you can just order one from the Canadian site.

Oddly enough, you can't get the S738 here...only goes up to S736. And the 638 only comes in black here and red in the US. Sometimes I wonder if there's any method to Sony's distribution madness...

soozieq, does previous Sony lineup also slow in transferring files under MTP? this is my 1st drag and drop Sony, previously using SonicStage which is even badass.

time taken to fill up 16GB probably will charge the battery FULL lol.

Just wondering, if the S736 is the same in terms of SQ as the S636 minus the NC

 

[toughnut]

yes, everything the same down to the manual

if u have good iem or decided to get one, forget bout S730. get S630 and save the extra $

Nope, no dice. They DON'T ship to the US. Thanks for the effort.

What bitrate should I use for AAC LC encoding to achieve the best SQ? (not using the stock earbuds)

 

[tds101]

192kbps or above. It's best, IMO, to always rip to the highest bitrate that the device can handle. This ensures that you get the best SQ possible.

Highest quality using Nero AAC encoder produces excellent results.
