I had been looking around for a audiophile-grade portable music player, but couldn't find one in the right price range for the features I wanted. This one appeared to fit the bill, so I ordered it. I put a 32gb card into it and downloaded some 24bit 96khz files that I have been using for my home Squeezebox (Transporter) system. I did some listening with my UE earbuds and couldn't believe the sound. The first thing I noticed was the "dark" background - no hiss, no hum, just dead silence. When the music came on, the detail was amazing along with very smooth sound - no boominess in the bass and no harshness in the treble range - just right. I am still trying to figure out how to make an actual playlist on the player, but that's a minor thing as I can always number the selections to put the files in a certain order. Highly recommended!
