the s9 might go down in price with the new J3 coming out...or the sflo:2 but the sflo sounds like it has a terrible interface and is buggy as hell, battery life on it sucks too

WAY over exaggerated on the SFLO:2, the UI is fine, it is not that buggy and while the battery is not that great it gives 8 hrs of .flac playback some of the cowons top out at 4HRs for .flac.

If you want to the best SQ of a DAP under 400$ the SFLO:2 is the one to get.

my earbuds arent that great though

RE2's from head-direct

its not so much sound quality, but a player with video, flac and a good interface.

40GB of space woiuld be amazing

I have the Archos 5 and hardly have any problems with it. Very nice and the 250gbs of space can hold virtually all of my media (although I only put video on it). BUT you will have to buy the 20 dollar codec pack to use MP4s with it :/

It's not that buggy and doesn't really give me any problems, just reboots itself occasionally (I use it about an hour a day and maybe once or twice a week).

Either way you look at it, the battery life on an s:flo2 is abysmal by todays standards - I don't recommend it for mobile usage. Stationary, fine, on the move,..........Fugedaboutit!!!!!

Yea... I would have to agree unless you are home every day; I use it daily in the morning before school, during school, and for the rest of the day afterwards and I hardly have a problem with it dying on me. Maybe if I go two days without charging but I'm always near my computer at some point in the day.

 

[cRodz]

i am patiently waiting on the j3

 

[Young Spade]

I really hope that thing delivers; the hype is slowly picking up on here now; I hope it's not a flop.

 

[tds101]

I doubt the J3 will be a flop - it's gonna rock IMO.

If youre headphones aren't quality...why are you worried about FLAC compatibility? why waste your battery life on subtle nuance that you wont be able to hear?
