Hi,

I am looking for a good player that supports Wi-fi which I will need for streaming 256kbps internet radio and it would be nice if it'd had FLAC support as well.

Sony NWZ-X10?0 is very good, but it does not support FLAC, perhaps if new version of S:flo2 comes out with Wi-fi that would be it but what are the alternatives?

Thanks

The Hifiman801... got $800?

No Wi-fi support, also it's too big. If nothing else turns up I will kinda have to go with S:flo2, but still- hoping they make a new player with line out, Wi-fi and FLAC support.

I will be buying in early spring so no rush.

The Cowon J3 will be coming out soon.. I've read that it's essentially the S9 with Wi-Fi?

It seems the "best player" don't support WI-fi, for seldom picky audiophiles use the "best DAP" for listening to radio music.

btw, what is hi-fi support?? maybe u mean wi-fi support?

if yes, then it is Iriver K1, Archos 5 android

 

[Prevtzer]

Yes, I mean Wi-fi I only messed it in the title.

Perhaps the iRiver, definetly not Archos, but let's wait for Cowon.

u may consider Mintpad Mintpass too

maybe this, it has wolfson codec : DealExtreme: $151.51 SmartDevices SmartQ 5 4.3" 800 x 480 Touchscreen Linux MID (667MHz ARM CPU/WiFi/Bluetooth/1G Flash)

God, how can it be so cheap... I am looking for something smaller thought, I will wait to see how the new Cowon will do.

Also, I don't really need all of those functions, just great sounding player, and Wi-fi for internet radio streaming, that's it.

So, Cowon J3 doesn't have Wi-fi which sucks, but Alo Audio came out with dock-out cable for Sony X-1050/60 which makes it my top choice right now.

Too bad you can't Rockbox an iPod Touch for FLAC.

But it does have great wifi, and supports three lossless formats: AIFF, WAV, and ALAC.

Some have mentioned "jailbreaking" it for FLAC support.

Also you can play games, and browse the internet with it

That might be, but $135.00 for a cable is ridiculous,.......................that friggin' price really is insane.
