It makes coffee too.

I will say one thing, Ive owned many MP3 players in my life but never spent more than $200 on one let alone $400. I love my audio (though not quite an audiophile) and use UE super fi5 EBs. $400 on a DAP wow.

Im using a Zune right now (last gen) and main reason im upgrading is cause i hate zune software. I want a player that allows drag and drop for music.

I was down to the Sony X and S:Flo2 but the 10hr battery life on the S:Flo2 is a deal breaker for me.

sony support Linear PCM lossless,
Linear PCM is an uncompressed audio format. It can have up to 8 channels of audio at 48khz or 96khz sampling frequency and 16, 20 or 24 bits per sample. It has a maximum bitrate of a huge 6.144 MB/s. It's also known as LPCM.

they seemed to be very high quality lossless.
any audiophiles has any comments on sony's lossless support?

Unless you can get original master files, I don't know where you can get 48k, 96k / 20 bits, 24 bits.
I am curious, does wave sounds "noticeable better" than AAC/mp3 with Sony X?

can someone tell me how the Sony NWZE345 compares to the X? heres a pic

SONY CORPORATION NWZE345B 16GB Walkman® Video MP3 Player with 2.0" LCD display – Black : MP3 Players | Dell Canada

Aside from the non touchscreen and OLED and built in noise cancelling and wifi, what makes the X better to warrant 3x the price?

 

[chicagojammer]

Seeing how the X is overpriced by about 100 bucks, I seriously doubt it.

Oh, so since im only in it for the Music and nothing more...the X isnt worth 3x the cost?

Lowest X1000 here is $400CDN, thats 32GB. I can get 16GB Sony E series for $130.

If the 16GB X were available in Canada for less Id get that since 16GB is more than enough for me.

Im sure the X is a great player but im just trying to justify the $400 price tag.

The cheapest way to get 32 gig of sony music is to get 2 16 gig S639's new off ebay. You can get a black and red one and stick them together. Total cost $160 bucks.

But arent the E and S series lesser for sound quality?

Finally got my 828 out of the suitcase - looking at maybe getting an X, but the hiss, the hiss!

True but im a workaholic and dont really have time to go to the Sony store...plus theyre bit far from my work ha. If I go in its to buy the X walkman

I did get $150 in birthday cash today so technically it would only cost me $250cdn.

 

[Bassheadd]

Just got PM from fellow head-fi'er who has a Sony X1000 for sale and what do you know happens to be in the same city as me haha. So im gonna grab his and save myself some coin.

 

[bakerysong]

I just got this today. The sound is quite good but a lot lower from my expectation, yeah alot better than the iPod.

I just use it all flat with flat eq and all off. Can someone help me about the eq maybe I could get this better
