Just to update my cables arrived from null on the 9th.  havent tried them out yet.

Quote: Yup Kevin K Wang.  I'm still waiting I will update in this post if anything changes.

  Quote: Sure thing.  I would have to say the first thing that struck me as odd was when I was told that the sleeving could only be done on the black and white cable as opposed to the black cable.  I all ready had noted on the site that they were sold out of the black cable.  But I was...

  Quote: How long did it take?  I'm going on 2 months for my arete.  It's been an interesting process.

Quote: Fantastic thanks for finding out.  Time to put an order in.   Placed my order for the Arete with the nylon sleeve on it.  One last thanks for all your work on reviewing.  It was crucial for my decision making process!

I messaged Null and asked if they could put the Nylon sleeve on the Arete and what it would cost.  I got a message back today     "We can do that for additional S$15.   However, it can only be done in B/W combination as you found on the Lune series due to some sleeve diameter...

  Quote: No need to apologize.  Thanks again for all your effort.  And now I know what OFC is.  

@average_joe I'm looking at the arete on null audio's site.  Is the cable they are selling the same as the one you reviewed?  You listed the arete and the lune as both having silver wire.  When I look on the site it lists the lune as having silver wire but arete as having multi stranded ofc...

Agreed but the pics above are with a case and a screen protector and I think it keeps a pretty clean and pleasing look.

Got my cowon just opened it love the looks of it and the screen.  I bought a couple things for it right away and have to give my recommendation on them. Granted time will tell how they work but first impressions are positive.   Got a realook screen cover which went on easy and has zero...

Pulled the trigger ordered the 32gb J3.  Thanks so much to everyone who took the time to comment on what im sure is to some a played out question!

Quote: When you say a lot of keystrokes you mean a lot of people on the forum use it?

Im getting really close to picking up the cowon 32gb J3 from amazon.  They are selling it for 260.00

800 bucks WOAH..  Looks to be an awesome unit and is simply beautiful.   Still more than im willing to spend at this time.  At that price I sure wouldn't use it at the gym.

Thanks man thats solid information to consider I have been looking at the HM stuff as well.  With the cowon J3 is there any difference between the models other than the disk size? Quote:  

Is the cowon J3 worth the price tag? 

Quote: With the nanite N2 it says MP3, WMA, FLAC format support.   So does it simply play flac files is that what this means?  

As far as the clip plus I picked it up for a really cheap price.  They said they wont have that model coming in anymore.  I took the refund and thats where it sits.  I did not rockbox the sansa.  Let me tell you what I all have sitting around.  I have the UE TF10 that I want to use.  I have an...

I'm not sure what to try I liked the size and simplicity of it but it didn't sound that great to me but I may have not transferred my music right either.  Kinda up in the air.  Put a post out for opinions.  Without some great sale Im looking at everything.   Thanks

Interested in opinions on a portable source for flac that would give good sound quality with my UE TF10. Im not interested in using any extra components amps what not.  Its my hope that I can get something on the smaller side that would work out well.  I dont need a ton of storage I wanted to...

Well no worries now.  Returned the defective player to find out there were no more.  It was on sale for 30 bucks but without a deal im opening up my options again.

I didn't rockbox the clip.  I never put it into msc mode when I transfer ed the files but after doing some reading it sounds like the sansa's can be pretty fowled up by moisture.  It was my first time using it and I was on a stair mill machine.  I may have got some sweat on it and that's that. ...

After I transferred the flac files to the folder directly I thought things were A OK. Today at work The clip just crashed while playing now it wont even turn on.    

I have a new 4 GB clip and my flac files on Jriver media center 16 but Im unable to load the flac files onto the clip through jriver? I get a files not supported type message.  I can however drag the folders with flac files into the music folder on the clip and it works.  I just dont...

Thanks a lot for the advice so far guys. Much appreciated! The more reading i do it seems there is some debate as to how adequate the amp is but is it fair to say the DAC is not in question? I hate to show more of my ignorance but the musical fidelity V-DAC is like 300 bucks alone so when the...
