Thank you Jupiterknight!

Ya, it works great!...What is fair market value for a slightly used Rio Karma?

Completely random, but I am in the process of moving and I stumbled across my old Rio Karma (oh, the memories) soooo   ...Is it worth anything or should I hold on it for posterity's sake?

The whole Sony line is overrated. I got bored with my NW-HD1 (practically the same thing as the nw-hd3 except with a higher quality body) and sold it for a Rio Karma. Love my Karma and hdd120. Liked the nw-hd1, but I wasnt ever using it. Its just boring. Also for 250, you are getting ripped off.

Im not really addicted....I guess you could say I am overly intrigued. I have 4 mp3 players (2 HD, 1 flash, and 1 click disk) but that pales in comparison to a lot of the guys and gals around here. I know I only use one of my mp3 players, so I dont really have a reason to have another one...

dapreview had that a couple days ago...Looks really goofy if you ask me. Sort of like a Toshiba Gigabeat, but more akward and less professional. I really wonder if it will live up the SQ proclamations. Its probably just a rehash of some unknown chinese companies DAP.

There is no perfect/best sounding audio player. It depends solely on your ear, HOWEVER, the most popular pick for audiophiles seems to be the Rio Karma with its flac, ogg support, great SQ, and gapless playback.

selachii, that case is freakin amazing

since you have them both, why dont you test them out yourself and tell us?

I dont know why you are so suprised that the shuffle sounds great as most flash players do sound a lot better than their hd counterparts. Happy to hear you enjoy your shuffle, but I was through with screenless players after my first portable casette player.

you mean the people at the shop knew that there would be an upgrade? ...wow, none of the workers at bestbuy, circuit city, or compusa know a thing about the daps they sell.

thanks.

Nice work bangraman. I fully concur with your opinions concerning dap photo abilties. It just kinda of pointless. Could you take some more pics of your blue h10?....Im probably going to buy one (if they fix the firmware soon) and I am considering what color to get.
