i don't think i would call that a line out. doesnt it completely disable the screen (because it thinks you're plugging into a tv)?

Even if you do engage the EQ on the Zen Vision M, I think that the equalised sound is noticeably crippled in terms of quality in comparison to other EQ's. However, there is one notable disadvantage that the ZV:M has in comparison to the above players: The headphone out is noticeably weaker. Many aspects of the Zen Vision M seems to have traded features for usability in comparison with the iPod, These comments are so completely out of sync with mine and most others' impressions that I won't bother to address them point by point, other than to say that it sure amazes me sometimes how differently a product can be perceived by different people. |
Perhaps it's because many people who claim to have used DAPs other than their own have at best spent a few minutes with them, or that they aren't half as critical as I am. Either way, after the hype about the superior sound quality, etc I'm not entirely convinced that the more vocal ZV:M supporters are looking at this in a balanced way. |
