damn

, i owned a hd320 iriver and it was a great player, had it for 2 years, but it fell in the toilet, literally...i took it apart dried as much as possible, it turns on and still plays music, but certain button functions don't equate with the right action, i'm still waiting it out, hoping it's not the end all, but in the mean time can you guys suggest some daps for me? I DO NOT WANT AN IPOD! so please, no suggestions of such and i would like the following things:

1. Flac support (not necessary, but would be nice)
2. Video
3. line I/O
4. Good battery life/rechargable battery (if the battery is rechargable, i would like to be able to have the option to replace it myself, when it eventually dies, i did this with my hd320 and it has lasted a long time, in other words i don't want to keep on buying a dap every few years, when i can just replace the battery my self and keep on truckin)
6. Also, i'd like to just put my dap in a usb port and transfer songs over, no software crap or any other limited stuff, just DAP > Computer = songs

thanks all!

Good choice, it seems to meet almost all the criterias you've given.
Happy listening

i would have gone for the iAudio X5L. Meets more of your criteria. I liked it better than my ZVM, which is saying a lot since i'm rather fond of the ZVM as well.

I bet that after going down the toilet it sounded like $hit later on....

I would have bought yet another H320.

People are saying how one meets more criteria than another, yet the H320 met all... Bit of a no brainer if you ask me. Cheaper too

Have you tried har drying it?



Errr I wonder how it would be for a new buyer (say of eBay) for a "down the toilet" H320 LOL!

yeah true, i thought about it, but i'm not really familiar with ebay and i'm really skeptical of it

the ZVM is actually pretty nice, i can't figure out how to put videos on here yet, i tried it, didn't work, but it may have something to do with the format, i'm pretty sure my movies were divx/avi, but who knows and i don't like the transfering, i use to just plug in my dap, it would recognize it, then i would go to my music folder and drag and drop, somehow i have to use winamp and sync it, which i think is time consuming and slow...there's gotta be a better way then this, but other than that, GREAT FEATURES, GREAT DAP, i was impressed

 

[khbaur330162]

Lol, I guess I could use more feedback. If you hadn't already bought the Vision:M I would have offered to buy it for you. Then you could just transfer the funds over to my PayPal account. Granted, you'd be adding 3% and paying for it to be shipped twice, but it'd still be a lot cheaper I'd think...

Anyway, hope you like your ZenV:M. I have some experience with Creative's line of DAP's and they really do make good stuff. Their tech support is really something too. Couldn't ask for much more.

 

[terrymx]

yes, since you are going to flush the h320, can i have the harddrive of it? sick of this 13.7gb hd in my ipod.

 

[antiant]

jeez i can't believe the offers i received

but then again this is head-fi, i shouldn't be suprised...i'll have to think about it

Take a soft tooth brush and rubbing alcohol to the circuit boards and button assembly. I didn't take apart the button assembly to know what kind of pads they used, but if you post pictures, I can give you some tips on how to clean/repair them. Also, does the remote control the player fine?

You can also hose the entire thing down with a can of electrical contact cleaner...great stuff.
