Hi everyone! This is my first post here, though ive been lurking every so often for the last year or so.
 
Recently the crazy thought of purchasing a new music player has crossed my mind. I used to have a iriver lplayer but its mostly collecting dust in place of my samsung galaxy s2. Im interested in getting a new player that will better compliment my UE triplefi10's so i figure you guys might know what to get and have some pointers for me.
 
Also if possible I'm looking for something WITHOUT wifi. yeah i know its strange but it would be really helpful in my workplace if I dont have a wifi module but thats secondary.
 
Many thanks!
Josh

Am I posting in the wrong board?

What all are you looking for in a player? There is a lot out there. Whats your budget?

 

[joshky]

I dont really have a price in mind yet but I can probably afford anything below 200 bucks, I dont want to go down the expensive road of amps.
 
Im not good with technical terms but I listen to classical music a lot. not sure if that helps?
 
Thank you so much!

Truthfully the ipods are great as is the sansa fuze. Ipod classic has 160 gigs of storage but is a bit over 200.00. you could get one used for close to 100,00.

what about cowon? I've been hearing good things about them?

Yeah, i think the lower capacity versions are less than 200.
The J3 is a really good player.
 
What are you looking for in a player, though. High capacity? Equalizer? Long battery life? FLAC?
The J3 has all these things

From what I've been reading, Cowon taylors towards the audiophile crowd, but I use my trusty iPod with a line out adapter, completely bypassing the internal amplifier.

What would be a nice DAP under $100?

 

[andrewberge]

Sansa Clip+ would be safe bet and well below $100. As long as you don't want to watch movies.
