Given those sources, DAC part is of less importance for you, than battery life? In this case, Predator may better fit your needs. I checked Predator's battery life with my AKGs, and it has taken about 48 hours to fully discharge the battery. With IEMs one can expect it to work even longer. I...

Hey Ray, please sign me up for a black Predator! Thanks!

I think the Predator is is the very case when I SHOULDN'T resist! I want it badly!

Tan Dun - Hero OST. Great music for the great movie.

I paid 1 GBP. It just didn't feel right for me to pay nothing. I'm definitely going to get the CD, but Radiohead music is ultimately enjoyable even in 160 kbps mp3 quality, IMHO.

Start with all of them! Just listen to "Are you shpongled?", "Tales of the inexpresible", "Nothing lasts..." from start to end, then listen the one you liked more several times, then another... They're so great, one way or another you'll end up loving all three "Shpongle remixed" is cool, too.

Agaetis Byrjun, followed closely by (). Tried to listen to Von and Takk, but didn't like them (yet? ).

Travis - Baby One More Time (Live) One of my favourites, really!

Radiohead The White Stripes Coldplay Shpongle

I like my 2Gb G3 very much. Compared to T10, it has much better buttons layout, you don't even need to use the hold switch, which is not the case for T10. And I prefer G3's UI and overall looks more. IMHO, they both sound good.

I use Panasonic SL-CT810 with Go-Vibe V3 and AKG K 271 S as my office rig. I like handling discs, actually. More than selecting files in a DAP : )

Thank you for your replies! I decided to buy this player. This is my first vintage Sony PCDP. I got very impressed with it's sound, and it looks awesome. It is in absolutely perfect condition, without a single scratch, and I got it with the remote, 220V AC adapter, external battery pack...

I am looking for a good source, preferably PCDP, to replace a so-so Panasonic 810 player in my office rig (see my sig for details). I've came across a mint Sony D-321 PCDP, and seller wants around $110 for it. How do you folks think, is it a good deal nowadays?

AKG K271S work great for me at the office.

Because it is based on Grado SR-125 AFAIK.

Russian and Ukrainian alphabets are very much the same, except for only a few letters. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_alphabet http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_alphabet When handwritten, cyrillic letters may look significantly different. That drawing of "L" similar to letter...

This is a song "По долинам и по взгорьям" ("Po dolinam i po vzgoryam"). It is about red army squadrons heading to fight for Primorye with white army. Lyrics by S. Alymov, music by A. Aturov. Performed by Red Army Choir.

Just look at that... http://www.jogis-roehrenbude.de/Lese...Roehrenuhr.htm

When I used Winamp I liked the Affinity-Dark skin very much. Tiger Winamp and Longhorn Slate are also great, and of high quality, IMO. And the Detonation Green (preview/download) worth a look also!

I use CT-810 as well. It does some nice job in my office rig. It was the best sounding CD player I could buy new about a year ago. (And it's gapless! )

There is a tool called Tau Analyzer. http://www.true-audio.com/ I use the lightweight command line utility from these folks, the auCDtect. Don't see a link to it from their site, but you can download it here ftp://www.true-audio.com/auCDtect-0.7-beta.zip. Works just fine.

Yep I was also kinda surprised the NAD's power cord is not detacheable. But I realized that this is the MAJOR issue with the unit of this price/quality ratio. And once you plug it into th wallwart you forget bout it. ;D
