UPDATE: Just to confirm both Coby MP-C741 and Rio Forge can accept 2Gb SD cards, but not MPIO FL-100. Tried A-Data 2Gb 150X SD, it works in both players.
I posted this message on Xin's web site and thought that it will be of interest to the Head-Fi music lovers too.
I had great fun with the three little flash players during Thanksgiving, Rio Forge, MPIO FL-100 and Coby MP-C741. They all had good sound, FM tuner, and worked very well with my MINI-3, AKG-K501 and Sennheiser HD600 phones. The three players were in par with my iRiver-H120 and Rio Karma in line-out mode, while H120 and Karma had slightly better soundstage and clarity. The SQ difference was indeed very small in causal listening.
One great thing is that all three players uses one AAA battery and supports both 512MB and 1GB SD cards. I haven't tried 2GB cards though. From now on, I don't need to worry about charging up my players and the amp while I am on the road.
My favorite by far is Coby MP-C741. Coby supports continuous folder playing anywhere it starts. It supports both voice and FM recording, and has about 20-30 hours battery life. It supports drag and drop music files without using special software. MP-C741 has 256MB internal memory, and it worked well with a 1GB SD card. I had a full 1.25Gb music loaded in Coby for a hike along Forbidden Drive yesterday. It works great with Koss-KSC75.
Enjoy!
