My friend is looking for a new media player, preferably capable of 20+ gigs with an SD card slot (16 gigs plus expansion, for instance, or 20 gigs + slots) under $200 CDN. Seems like a bit of a stretch, I know, but he wouldn't be watching movies on it. Is there anything on the market, non-Apple...

Hi everyone, looking for some quick opinions as I have the opportunity to purchase a mint Ipod Video for a great price.  I was planning on purchasing an S:flo2 and using my alo rx with it.  Would that be significantly better than the Ipod->Rx.  Really looking for someone who's had experience...

As the topic would suggest, I would like a Sony NW-HD5.   Where on earth would I be able to buy one of these things? Amazon seems like the only place.   That said, how does battery replacement work on the HD5...is there a removable cover of sorts or is it integrated like my ipod classic...

so after a long wait on the s:flo2 and using it for the past few weeks, ive come to realize it is not what i need. The sq might be better than average but the ui just looks plain and dull, has no reverse/forward track buttons, most importantly battery life is too short (which leads to charging...

I just got the S:Flo2 today, and I have some questions. The manual wasn't too helpful.   Is it just me or does the S:Flo have serious UI problems? Is it possible to scroll down quickly? I tried setting scroll speed at 5x, but I don't think that makes a difference. Can I, say, use the volume...

Been out of the audiophile scene for awhile, and I've been using my Cowon D2 in conjunction with a RSA Predator amp and Westone 3's. Love the combination, but I'm thinking of getting a new player that has actual line-out capabilities (to use with my RSA Predator), as well as SD/microSD card...

Hi Guys!   I have been surfing the portable source forum all night, but I could't find any information about the comparison between iMod and the s:flo2. I have an 32gb 5th gen ipod (cf card mod), with qables cable with blackgates inside. is the s:flo2 way better than my setup is? Should I...

So I got the tablet today and i love the Android interface and apps and stuff; wasting time on this thing is going to be great :) However, just half an hour ago I decided to put some music on the player to see how it sounds and suprisingly it's not that bad.   I haven't done any ABing with...

Hopefully this is in the right forum.   I personally do a lot of traveling and strenuous activities and carrying an audio source with an external amp/dac (besides the pico slim) would be too much to lug around. So I was wondering if anyone here could give me some insight on which of the two...

Im wondering what are some good mp3 player that can play FLAC audio? I was thinking a Sansa Clip+ was a good player because of its audio formats and design. What would you guys recommend? And what is EQ and how does that effect listening?

I was looking for an mp3 player since i don't have one right now. I was thinking at the D2, i'm not new to the Cowon. But then i've saw the SFLO2... and his autonomy. I have only Flac and some 320cbr, along with Ms1i and (for portable use) an G2A. What do you suggest me? 16gb, or msd/sd...

Is that the only place to buy a S:flo? I have read on some places that the shipping takes longer than usually and sometimes the items get lost. I just wanted to see what other members experiences are with this site.

Well, turns out my Zune 80 doesn't cope well with my workout anger when the stupid ass thing freezes playing music.  Now it's stuck in player recovery mode.   So, I need a new player.  I was thinking one of those new Cowons but now I don't remember what the newest versions are.  I don't want...

So I have been reading around on this forum and am in the market for a new player, my iPod Touch 1g just isn't cutting it anymore. After reading I have found that my main choices are between the Cowon J3 and S:flo2   I mainly just listen to music at the gym or hook it up to my head unit in...

Looking into replacing my iPod touch first generation as it has gotten a little old and I prefer something with better sound quality. The two main options I have been looking at are the Cowon J3 and the S:flo2.   My two methods for listening to music are:   Player plugged into car's...

I am willing to spend upwards of $500 for a portable DAP (and an amp, if it requires one. I prefer not to use an amp, since I want it to be *portable*). After days and days of reading through many, many sites (including this one), I. Cannot. Decide.   Cowon J3 // S9- ...Hailed to have...

I curious as to which DAP has the most power out through headphones. I am looking for facts not opinions.  Links to measurments would be nice. I know someone is going to suggest Sflo2, and if you are prepare to provide me with proof(measurement or some kind of data).  Also, forget the HiFiMan, I...

Hi everyone I'm new to these forums and am a general newbie with this stuff so any and all help would be greatly appreciated. I'm looking to get a setup for around 300$, nothing too crazy. A mp3 player, an amp, and some headphones, and maybe a cool dock cable or something. Looking around myself...

This feels like a really stupid question but does anyone ever get any changes in SQ when playing music while charging their s:flo2/T51?  Thanks :)

I just sold a ipod touch 1 gen and still have bose iems. I want a new setup that will play podcasts, jazz,classical,rock,etc.... What do you all suggest as far as a setup. I would like to get out of itunes and start new...better everything. I am new to headfi so forgive my ignorance.

First of all, I want to thanks Raz @ MP4Nation.net for the review sample. To be clear, 'nationite' is brand of MP4Nation.net. There are tons and tons of portable players and brands in China nowadays, but it is Raz's intention to rebrand some of the more well-made player and introduce them to...

So, I got my S:flo2 today. Just some very quick impressions, photos and full review to follow. Quick refresher for those of you who don't know what this is. It's an all-in-one Chinese-made music device that is iPod sized with a flash card slot and 8 gigs or 16 gigs of built in memory. It...

To prefice this I have spent the past three months reading every single comment and review related to the S:Flo2 and I find myself encountering a reoccuring nightmare- a lack of a consensus.  Now I know that this is the internet and that everyone's physiology is unique and your milage may very...
