Found some answers in this thread as far as the pm3 is concerned. I'm thinking an A17 paired with an Oppo HA2 might be a better option than a zx100 for my pm3. Thoughts?

I have the same question about the international version. Anybody knows? Has anybody used this one or the a17 with an Oppo pm3? If so, what's the verdict?

Interested too.   Don't have much to bring, a Sennheiser PX100. And maybe the Audio-Technica Ath-anc7.   jan

Have you looked at Classicsonline – The total classical music download site ? They usually have a good selection, maybe not at the quality you desire though (mostly 192 kbps)...

I'd just keep the account open, but cut up the card. Seems to be good for your credit rating :-)

If I correct for the number of fingers I used, I get 1180char/230words (it is called 10-fast-fingers, I only use 2!).

Funny you mention this :-) I was bidding on this a few days ago: ReadyNAS NV+ 1TB Gigabit Desktop Network Storage 2x500 - (eBay item 150186667495 end time Nov-27-07 10:17:54 PST) It sold for $888,98. The kicker: you can get a new unit for $905 (and temporary with one more drive): NETGEAR...

My sentiments exactly. I use it on the plane too, so 1m should be enough. And it gives me the idea that it's a bit better quality. As if I'm able to notice

Oh great, thanks a bunch!!! I had kind of given up on it! I'll get one of those, or maybe the 1m version. I'll do some measuring first...

+1 for the Squeezebox. I've been using the squeezebox for years now, love it. Got all my music ripped to flac on a pc running slimserver. Got the sb2 in the living room talking wirelessly to the pc/slimserver. Works like a champ. Sounds great too! And so very, very convenient!!!

Funny, I was listening to Snoop Dogg on the plane tonight, and wishing for gapless playback! And flash, so I'd get long battery life! But one more thing would be nice too: a line-out so I can hook it up to a nice amp... Guess that's too much to ask for now, right?

Yeah, I probably average 200~250Mb per album (like Steely Dan, with about 8 songs per album).

I ripped all my CDs to flac, mostly with EAC, lately with dbPoweramp. Then I use dbPoweramp to transcode from flac to whatever format I want on my dap. I did some comparisons, using Foobar with the abx plugin, and found out I can't distinguish between flac and mid-to-high bitrate mp3/wma/aac...

Are you sure you can hear the difference between flac and a high quality lossy format, when played on your dap? You might just be wasting space! I listen to my dap mostly on the plane, so there's a lot of ambient noise. No point in using flac!

I thought mp3 players were meant for that? ;-)

Or give Foobar2000 with the abx plugin a try!

Well, all of this talk about aac made me run some tests and I've now encoded all my music to aac. I used Dbpoweramp with the Nero aac codec, quality .45. It did some dbt with foobar and couldn't tell the difference from .45 on up, so that should do :-) Now I can get all my music stuffed onto the...

Does anybody know where I can find a mini plug that will fit into the Audio Technica ath-anc7? It's a rather small plug that's needed...

Zune is nice and simple. I like the screen better, just because of it's size. Too bad it's only 30Gb though, and the battery life is mediocre... (Compared to iPod video)

I have the Zune and like it. Picked it over the ZVM because of the bigger screen. But if video isn't important to you... I do like the Cowon D2 though. Haven't seen or heard it yet, but the battery life is quite appealing! Something to keep in mind. I get 8~10 hours of life out of my Zune...

The specs of the D2 look very good I must admit. But the screen is a bit too small for my liking, plus it doesn't have enough memory. If you're serious about watching videos on it, I'd advise you to go to a store and compare! When I was shopping for my player, I compared the ZVM with the Zune. I...
