There's a great D-303 for sale right now

(just look at Duncan's review of it) and a D-EJ2000 if you're looking for something more portable.

Don't mean to hijack the thread, and propably it's a useless post, but I'm about to receive a Sony D-465. I've read a lot of good things about this player, especially about the anti-skip, though also negative comments, also on the anti-skip (some units even stopped working). Quick question: I'm owning an Awai (Sony) XP-ZV551 (recent PCDP) right now. Sound is very good actually (although it's getting kicked in the ass by my Marantz home CDP). Will I hear any difference in SQ compared to my Awai? Using Porta Pro by the way, and my little portable amp. Great combo/trio actually!

For my money, it definitly does not get any better than the memorex MD3849!

I borrowed a Sony dne 920 and was impressed enough with the sound to order one for myself 15 minutes ago from Newegg.

The D-33 is also my personal favorite. Nice sound from a PCDP, relaxed highs and excellent bass.

Where?

 

[twc5964]

I found one seller on Amazon that had several.This was sometime back. The price was a little more than 99 bucks but he had bad feedback so i declined to order.

I'm also wondering who else has it at that price ?

I don't think that counts...

Madmax7,dont know if you bought a pcdp yet but I can only echo what Jagorev has said about the DNE 920.I finally received mine and I'm very happy with it:

Comes in a box(no blister pack):
1. base station for hooking up unit to charge gumstick
2.ac adapter
3.gumstick battery
4.--another adapter to use it with one double "a" battery and/or to supplement the power along with the gumstick or to use as an ac connection.

5.Earbuds
6.slim lighted remote
7.bag
8.parametric eq(soft,active,heavy,custom)
9.clear base(3 settings)
10.Line-out(via menu for setting)
11.Sonic Stage software
12.Optical out

And great sound with or without an amp ! Paid $86 + shipping from Newegg.Much better sound(digital) compared to my DNE 320 I bought a month ago that has about 1 hour of use.

Answering Sparky191 question. I bought NE-10 a month ago from "The Sharper Image" - they have a store on ebay. I bought mine for 70 USD + shipping.

Just checked out - they have NE-20 (?) for 79!

How does the sound quality of the new Sony D-NE330 compare to the D-NE920 through the headphone out? I am so interested in the D-NE920 right now. Can anyone help?

 

[twc5964]

The dne330 has a more flat sound where the dne920 has better resolution due to the digital amp.

This is a total newb question but, what is an optical out?

Hmmm....I wonder why they dont advertise it having a digital amp on the dne 330. I dont think it does,however,I could be wrong.
