Shure e530, very sensitive and no hiss with the eq turned off. A little with the eq on.

very low hiss with the Ety 6i on the S639, great "robust" sound. A good all-around player, improvement from previous series

Forgive my rudeness - thanks for the response Ihatepopupads!!! As for the SQ on the new S Series - I'll check it out when the 16gb model hits the US. Untill then I'll enjoy what I have ATM, tho I know you must be feeling the jealousy emanating from a few of us by now

!!!

Must say, I don't like the option/on-off and back/menu buttons. They don't feel as sturdy or responsive as on the a818- a little mushy

Maybe because they're almost flush I don't feel as much click as before.

Seems kinda' the same w/my A829 - since I have a silicone skin and screen protector on it. Buttons are hard to locate by feel, and there seems to be no real tactile feel when I turn it on or off. Guess it's just how Sony likes to situate the buttons.

One fairly minor annoyance I have is the FF is so damn slow. Not a problem if you're listening to music, but for longer files if you're trying to skip large portions then it's kind of a pain.

Guess you forgot how to FF in a speedy fashion? Hit pause and then FF through the song - speed is fast as all heck then.

NWZ-B130 isn't UMS like the NWD-B103/B105F-I've heard the B130 is MTP only.

Ahh. That explained it. Normally i just hit FF without pausing. Now it's FAST. Thanks for the tip

Big thanks there.

Having never owned a Sony DAP I never knew that. Guess I should read the manual next time.

Where is the damn 16GB S series in the US? Why the delay???

 

[toughnut]

FYI, the S630F/S730F not even for sale in my country, the country where it was manufactured. Funny eh?

I feel you, I checkin' SonyStyle on a daily basis in the US - no luck!!!

Maybe I'll just stick with the A729 and wait for the 32 gb units. I'll see if I feel like selling that and replacing it with a player with another 16 gb player.
