I loved it, so I bought the action figure. Problem is, she cannot stand on her own

, so I keep it in the box lol.

MIKEp, 2 of the same actually. G21 is getting sold.. some time in the future. G5 is getting a 30 gig hdd, and will be kept just because it is pretty. G41 is waiting for an 80 gig one to become my main.

[t10]

The sound of the gigabeats is very sony like. Since Toshiba makes DAC chips for Sony HiMD/HDx, I guess, that is to be expected (Not sure abbout current situation, but they did for first gen Hi-MD and HD1/HD3).

Out of the ones you mentionned, I would rule Ipod right out.
-HD5 takes the battery life crown, plus it is replacable (can cary an extra bat. on ya on long trips). Downside is button issue, and the fact that there is NO folder playback (which is why I still dont have an HD5, myself i dont care for buttons).
-X5 would be most versitile I guess, kinda jack of all trades.
-G series, would be bread and water. But very sexy bread and water, plus you sleep better at night knowing there is a good chance that not a soul in a 300 mile radius has one.

Interesting info T10, even on this forum it is not so easy to find impressions of these DAPs. My final question will be whether it has a good line-out or not?

I plan to have a complete upgrade of my setup with a new DAP, new head amp and also a new headphone by the end of the year, and it appears that there is no clear winner. They either have good headphone and bad line out or vice versa. That is why the iPod stays as an option albeit the U2 version to get the least bit of exclusivity. Currently, I'm waiting to see if the next gen ipods are any better.

Alas, here is my portable rig - a minority among the HDD DAP users here. But i just can't seem to give up the versatility of MD, maybe I'll upgrade when the next gen of HiMD players roll around. Until then, SP and LP2 will have to do.

here we have the "big traveller" setup.

and what's inside: Sharp IM-MT880, sony MDR-EX81 (i hate them - notice the condition of the cable), extra MD's & battery space, and recording utilities(not all pictured)

and now the "little-ish traveller" setup.

and what's inside, enough room for 2 extra MD's, or 1 MD and battery pack/mic

This setup is a little dated, but aside from the earphones, i still love it. Also, the audio technica case well have enough room to hold a small pimeta ive just ordered the parts for.

Gotta love the low budget..
Creative Zen Touch 20GB, Sennheiser HD555, Creative EP-630 and AKG K14P.

 

[t10]

phosfiend, that is an awesomme pencil. Looks sergical

Nice Sharp too. I still love my MS722

DRSpeed85, the G21 has no line out.

 

[Thieu]

Hey everyone. This is my first post and here's my "rig". I rarely leave home without it, as it's all I listen to in the car and at work.

The headphones stay at work where I used them the most, so they're not pictured with my stuff but these are them:

and now my trusty companion (pardon the terrible pictures):

 

[thebrain]

to phosfiend:
yah, that is a cool pencil, what brand, how much, and where'd ya get it

thanks

Hey, you're not in the minority.....its just that MD owners can't be bothered posting pics

I'm guilty as charged

Aren't the next gen of Hi-MD already out? The OLED clad ones + photo one?

 

[phosfiend]

ah, the pencil, it's an "OHTO Super Promecha " - model number "PM-1504S/0.4" i believe i picked it up in TOKYU HANDS; on the stationary/pencils/billlions of stickers floor. Its pretty slick, you can adjust how much graphite gets advanced each click, how tight that graphite is held, and how much pencil tip is exposed. They come in 0.2mm to 0.8mm, mine is 0.4mm. i think i paid around $20 USD, but not more than $30 USD.
