So it was, sorry - I skim read.   But it's the best way - on my device, in sleep mode, the battery drains FAR FAR slower than if I start it up everytime and the database upgrade routine happens. Bizarre, but true!

Put it in sleep mode.

I can listen to this forever:  

360 Eur (399$) on Amazon.com vs 579 Eur on Amazon.de.   What's that all about?

Bazooka Joe by Big Black.

Any chance of a similar program in Europe?

I have just had the misfortune to listen to November Rain by Guns n Roses.   What a pile of ***** that song really is.

I think after a while they definitely would annoy you if you would be moving about a lot. Mine don't really clamp very tight and if I bend down to pick something up they tend to travel a bit as well.   Perhaps try the Focal Classic - this had very good clamping but felt a little too hard for...

Seriously?   Wow!    Ok, well, you have something to discover...........the artist is a band from England, Pink Floyd and the album is Wish You Were Here.   Enjoy!

I don't think I am getting anywhere near 32 hours playing mainly FLAC files. Feels more like 12.

It's in stock on amazon de via a 3rd party seller. 279 eur - same price I paid.   Last night using my better than average JBL Synchros 200i IEMs I fell asleep listening to Bonobo with volume on 2/100. Sound was so good even at that level.   I love this machine.

Thread merge?   (With the one 10 threads down with the EXACT same title!)

  Without wanting to blame you (!), I ordered this cable on the back of your post but now that it's arrived and been unpacked to the point where the packaging is of course destroyed and probably unreturnable, I found that I cannot use this cable with my MM 400s as the jack won't fit - being...

Thanks for the timer and sleep mode info photoman and brcowon.

So I was initially being snobby and loading up flac files (my CDs ripped with Nero) only, but then I tried out a few mp3s too and although I haven't done a direct comparison between the formats using the same song, I have to say the sound this little player delivers is really amazing. I listened...

  Just bought that - good tip - thanks.

Wow. The sax at about 11 mins on Shine on You Crazy Diamond (Parts I-V) just blew me right away.

Denon MM 400s (32 Ohms) - was in the post above, skim reader ;)

PS - volume scale is 0-100   I listen generally at between 55 and 75.
