Maybe they could have it output through USB, and sell an optional USB->s/pdif or AES converter? I wish...

I thought that you have to convert to optical? At least, if I want optical, (see sig), I would have to.

McIntosh MS750 with 750GB of storage. Sorry, you didn't specify portable.

Archos players have 160GB, the 504, 704 and of course the new 605.

Thanks for responses guys, the Pacemaker looks quite interesting.
I'll have to give the Archos players a look.

Your funny...

I don't think I want to lug a home audio component in my pocket.

Anyways, thats nice, 750GB DAP for your home audio.

Do you mean as opposed to s/pdif? Optical and coaxial are both digital outputs that follow the protocol called s/pdif. They are both s/pdif. AES/EBU is the counterpart of the s/pdif protocol that is used by professionals. s/pdif is the consumer protocol for digital audio output. s/pdif is usually used via coaxial or optical, while AES/EBU is usually done via XLR.

But you would need a transmitter to go from SPDIF to optical.

You would need a transmitter to do optical, but optical is still a form of s/pdif. S/pdif is only the protocol. It's followed by both optical and coaxial.

I can't wait for this thing to come out!

I have a 100 GB iMod......soon to be 120 GB iMod

FYI: This article says Samsung is releasing a 160gb drive.

I think this thread is worth reviving. High resolution audio takes a lot of space but storage has moved on a great deal since the last post.
 
I remember the Archos fondly...
 
I have an AK120 Titan which has 128GB on board and two micro SD slots which certainly take 200 GB each (I've done this) but I can see no reason why the 256 GB cards wouldn't work so that takes us to 640GB.
 
Any advance?

Calyx M has 64GB internal storage, a full SD card slot (largest capacity 512GB I believe) and a microSD card slot (256Gb max) so that would be a total of 832GB.

That's impressive!

On their official site, it is said, that it supports up to 256gb sd and 128gb microsd. That makes total 448 (with internal storage)
