HifiMAN HM-801 PMP promises to make audiophiles happy, wallets hurt
You'll have to buy SDHC cards, which seems to make the most sense as long as upcoming high capacity cards are compatible.

Maximum theoretical (and practical as well for a last year) capacity of SDHC card is 32GB. There would not be 64GB SDHC because of the stupid limitation of standart (FAT32 itself can support much larger capacities), because manufacturers want to earn money from the new devices (if someone would have released a brilliant device, why customers would purchase new devices after several years? because only new devices supports new memory cards!)
SDXC cards are _not_ compatible with SDHC devices, although SDHC cards are compatible with SDXC devices. And head-direct says nothing about SDXC support.
So don't expect that somewhere in 2012 you will be able to put 1TB of storage into it. Only 32GB cards.
And even this SDXC standart has its theoretical limit on 2TB, that's very close, so they're likely to introduce another new standart, SDUC ("ultimate capacity") or something somewhere in 2012.

Ha ha. Well we've always been at the mercy of an industry that pretty much plans its roll-outs of new technology in small increments to guarantee that consumers will have to buy new gadgets every few years. So it goes.
It would be a huge mistake for them not to make another version that can use SDXC. 32MB just doesn't cut it for those who want to travel with a bunch of lossless audio. 2TB, however, would be more than enough for 95% of consumers. I'm in the process of ripping my collection of 5,000+ CDs. I'm about 1/5th done, and have only filled about 320 GB.

640KB of RAM should be enough for anybody!
There is no such thing as "too much of storage"

i've read through the entire thread and im suprised that nobody has mentioned the archos 5 or 7. It has native flac support but it is quite big in size, note this may be the only problem. Hard drive ranges from 60-250gb for the archos 5 and 160 - 320gb for the archos 7.

All this netbooks like Asus EEE also has native flac support.
Are you seriously calling this brick with a 7-inch screen and a few hours of battery life a portable?

Has anything new come out?
Update on SDXC cards -- Toshiba is finally putting them out next month, but only up to 64GB. It could be several years before they get to the 2TB ones.

That thing looks incredible. And it only costs the same amount as a Sony X in Australia : D

It's kind of pathetic that after three years there's still very, very few to choose from. Start a new one and people will just suggest the same ones already discussed here.
