Hi there!!

I am (again!) in the search of a dap

.

My wishes are specific and simple:
It has to be good for use with my FS atrio M5's.
It has to have a good analog line-out to connect it to my (30 year old, but good quality) speakeramplifier. The dap is going to serve as storage and dac.
30 gb storage or more!
Soundquality and durability most important. Than battery life and size (smaller is better),

If dock is needed that's fine too, or something like it.

I like neutral, smooth and natural sound the best. Don't like analytic or sibilance!

Options I have sofar:

H340 SE - 140 euro
Archos players?
Iaudio?
Ipod?
Zune?
Creative?

Any help appreciated!

Here is the current plan:

Ipod classic 80gb - 235 euro
Apple radio remote - 50 euro (for enjoyble portable listening/ as small amp)
Apple universal dock - 50 euro (so I can use the line-out with a jack-rca cable to connect to speakeramplifier)
Jack to RCA cable - 12,75 http://www.allekabels.nl/Tulp-Kabels...dio-Kabel.html

I might get those accesoires cheaper somewhere, but this is the general plan.

Is it good?

plz I need all your help.

It's down to two options now. What would you take?

Iriver H340 SE (135 euro) with optional battery and HDD upgrade (not sure I will do that)

The Ipod classic 80 gb with radio remote and dock (about twice the price)

I need good line out for hifi and good headphone out for M5's.
