Is that line out reallt that useful? I mean, i'm new here and don't know much about making a rig. I know it sounds silly but what's a line out and what's a phone out?
Would it be a good rig if i use X1060 > Silver dragon mini to mini > Corda XXS > CK100? or do i miss something?

I believe the screen is plastic. But, looking at the iPhone screen (which has the same screen as the touch) and the X side by side I'd say the difference is not that great. In comparison, you can see some very slight waviness to the surface of the X, however, I don't think that the screen will prove itself as resilient as that of the iPod Touch/iPhone in terms of scratchability, but I'm not entirely sure. Perhaps others have an opinion of this?

Yea... i read earlier in the thread that the manual says its glass but people say it feels like plastic.

I guess i have to wait until mine comes from the UK -> Aus

 

[GLdgShDjKsHT]

maybe it's glass covered by plastic? why don't you test it?

 

[Kon-Masti]

Tapping an iPhone screen and the X's screen produce similar sounds. Soooo, it could be glass after all, BUT, I don't know if it's just me, but I'm sure the X's screen depresses ever so slightly when pressed, whereas the iPhone screen has no give at all. Hmmm...

ETA: no advice on the audiobook issue then?

Hurrah, my third X has arrived. This one has a wobbly headphone jack and volume rocker, where as the first two didn't. Seeing as everyone else's has the wobblies I'm presuming this is a good thing. Well it hasn't crashed yet anyway. Fingers crossed this one is teh shizz init.

Now for the firmware updates we want.....

This thread appears to have gone out of control since going on holiday last week! ha ha.

I was just wondering if anyone knew if the leather case is available anywhere in the UK yet? Can't be dealing with reading what i've missed

thanks in advance

I have a Sony P1i pda mobile with touchscreen and its screen is very resilient and scratch resistant. If the X's screen is similar they wont be any worries.
I have seen a number of peoples Iphone's screens cracked and scratched.
Maybe a slight give is a good thing on the X as it wont be too brittle and will take a knock or 2. I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned it but i-nique in the UK have screen protectors, silicon and leather cases for the X-series. They also have an Ebay store and ship worldwide (unlike Amazon for electronic and accessories).

STOP posting about that Walkman here!

In Germany it is still NOT available ... I still have to wait!


Arrrrggh!

I am not sure wat is the diff but a line out from a sound card or DAP would sound super dull and no soundstage at all like raw sound. (remember to turn down volume of line out before listening, ipod i think cannot turn down line out volume)

Line out although does not bypass the internal amplifier, it does pass through the colouring process (a few caps and resistors and voltage protector). The line out sounds like the raw sound. So I guessed this will improve the sound and when to try it. And hey it does improve on the low and high extension using Pico through line out instead of headphone out. Soundstage and clarity is better than from headphone out.

The adapter does not require power to be plugged in. but it is useful as you can listen to music while charging unlike the normal cable that comes in the box. One note though the build quality of the adapter is horrible.(Made in China as always). So have to protect it when you bring your rig out.

Please do, make sure it is entertaining

 

[Photoman]

Wow! Amazon just sent me an email about the US version will be sent to me around July 7. That's crazy! I'm going with Best Buy probably. I'm selling my UK version.

That would be awesome if you could.... then i don't need to buy an invisible shield if it doesn't scratch

WHAT?! Don't be crazy!!! You've had it apart and you know it's glass. Don't deliberately try and damage it lol!
