Yeah, the NE1 and NE9 are pretty much the same. Although the NE1 has longer battery life when using rechargables:

NE9: ATRAC3plus: 40 / CD: 25 hours
NE1: ATRAC3plus: 55 / CD: 35 hours

Ah, ok - so I can plug my headphones straight in. With my old Discman, the remote used a 'micro' plug.

Thanks,

Better battery life isn't always a good thing

. Could mean the amp has been cheap'ed out
so they can concentrate on spending more power on the disc spinning or other stuff to make the
PCDP last longer.

BTW, iMP-550 for $162. With that power transformer thingy and other stuff,
you'd still have enough money to buy a cheap pair of shoes

The D-NE1 supposedly has "technology" that makes the lid never get hot, it dissipates heat so it won't hurt you when you leave it in the sun and touch it. I do not believe the D-NE9 has this; I've seen the D-NE1 and it looks really good in real life.

Amazon doesn't ship overseas though...

Hmm...so it's back to either the NE1 or 550. I found an Australian site with the iMP-550, and the price isn't too bad - considering I won't have to pay for a transformer or for shipping.

Can anyone confirm that the skip issue with the 550 has been resolved? Also, which color of the 550 do you guys reckon looks better - the black or silver?

hardly the most must-have feature tho... hurt your hand when u touch it after leaving it in the sun

Maybe if the ne9 was black and u left it outside in very hot sun for a while?

THEY ARE METAL!!, metal gets hot, REALLY easily, that's why they implemented it in the D-NE1.

I can say it doesnt get hot at all during normal use tho, theres no sun here now as winter is soon upon us so I cant test the sun thing... Ive never had any dicman get hot tho. My 963sa on the other hand, that thing gets really hot

Who the hell would put their PCDP in the sun anyway? Not like you put it beside you when you're
outside taking a sunbath, eh?!

 

[D-EJ915]

My 915 has gotten really hot with me just sitting outside for a little while, it doesn't take much, the lids aren't very thick.

I have one of these and it is amazing. I use HD280's with them and its just sweeet. I cannot complain about the player at all and I'm sure you can get a sweet sweet deal on it. I mean to be honest, its got everything you want and the sound is just great...i have had no problem with battery life either...I don't see the point in spending more than $150 on any portable player unless you're talkin IPOD...because those...well those just seem sweet.
