optical cable doesnt 'sound' at all, in fact when using the optical the iriver becomes a transport, not a dac. the quality of sound will then rely almost entirely on the quality of downstream components (dac and amp)

Also, using either a CF or SDHC instead of an HDD, the ihp consumes less power and is much faster in accessing any song track. No mechanical noise. HDDs are prone to mechanical failure. And hopefully once SDXC comes out, somebody will make an adapter for it.

Both are Toshiba ZIF hard drive disks. You need a ZIF to IDE adapter.
