The sound quality of my iAudio 7 is great for my demands, especially thanks to its built-in semi-parametric equalizer allowing for an almost ideal compensation of the common sonic-balance issues of portable earphones. Its 16 GB flash memory is halfways large enough for the best tunes from my MP3 collection encoded at -V3 and -V4. 32 GB would be even nicer, though, as it would offer the space for my whole MP3 collection or alternatively the counterparts in -V0 with some minor restrictions.
Now what I'm looking for is a dedicated compact DAP (as opposed to a multimedia player) with similar features as the iAudio 7 and a comparable sound quality, but with conventional controls (joystick), because I hate touch controls for their unreliability. I want a player that can be mounted on the upper arm (or had in the pocket), especially for walking and jogging. So touch screens and large formats are a no-go.
I know, what I'm looking for is possibly a dying species. But is there any hope to find something like described above? The iAudio U2 and U3 with larger memory and the 7's equalizer would have been close to the ideal.
