Need something to replace my H320

[nsx_23]

I'm currently looking to get something to replace my beloved H320, which is getting a bit long in the tooth. I've been looking at the iAudio X5, but am not too sure since I haven't heard it. I would like something with at least 20GB, preferably with video playback and, of course, excellent sound quality.

I haven't really heard a player which sounds better than my H320, and most modern players seem to be more about design than quality. I was disappointed when I got my iRiver X20, which sounded positively crap next to even my 512mb T10.

Just as a side note, has anyone heard the Samsung P2 yet? I'm quiet intrigued by it, but have yet to use, see, touch or hear one. It looks cooler than the iTouch in my opinion, and that bluetooth function seems handy (especially if it gets A2DP later on).

The X5 has excellent sound quality. I recently bought a zune 80 which has decent sound quality, but nothing like the x5

Does it playback video, and is the EQ preset or customizable?

I'm not too big on EQ, but just wondering.

Any good online retailers for Australia besides minidisc.com.au

I owned an X5 along with H140's. The X5 is a worthy replacement to an H320. Sounds great with many of the same great features.

Do you run rockbox on your X5?

Does anyone know where I can pick one up in Melbourne? I saw the standard X20 for about 250 on minidisc.com.au

I'd recommend the Cowon D2...you can buy a D2 with 8gb internal memory and buy a 16gb sd card for 24gb total...and it has great sound quality..

I actually have the Samsung P2 and it is a nice unit...sound quality is good not great but much better than the Sony NWZ-S616F I've recently owned and it's more powerful....But the video quality on the P2 isn't great at all using the Samsung software that comes with it....but what's nice the P2 software does convert avi's..which the ipod touch I owned didn't..

The bluetooth of the P2 is what really interests me, especially since Samsung has said that they will release a new update to expand the bluetooth functionality soon.
