Uh oh....getting harder to stay faithful to my Karma! Hope I don't see a vendor selling this puppy who takes Paypal! That would be the death blow!

Mine came in and I love it just a fyi: you can use the korean firmware on the us version so you can get flac support up to "8"
So far the sound quality is nice. not as sexy as my karma though or maybe I'm just used to the sound the karma puts out we'll see in a while but I am digging the ubotg

iAudio X5 30GB update:
According to a rep from eCost, they are expecting 10 units (30GB) on June 15th. As of now, they have 5 available. They said they do not charge your card till the item ships. $309 plus $1.99 shipping and $6.95 handling fee. Not a bad deal. I just might buy me one.

Nice! Curious...has anyone had the chance to compare it to the Karma in terms of sound quality? austonia?? If I could get an additional 10GB AND FLAC support without losing too much in sound quality, I'd really consider it.
I didn't see an answer but heck, let's ask again...does anyone have word on larger HD's coming down in this player? 40 or 60GB?? Time frame?

i'm not about to get into SQ discussions these days. suffice to say, X5 sound quality is on the same level as other premium brands/models.

I also have a Rio Karma I've found the karma to sound a tad better but then again I had good eq settings on the karma which I have yet to experiment with on the x5
I think overall the x5 is the better package

no, Exity's review says there will be no 60GB X5L, because it would be too thick, but their will be a standard 60GB X5
