You mean H140 right? H340 doesn't have optical out, only line out. No external DAC possibilities.

Sure. =] I didn't look into specifics, I jsut remember seeing an iRiver with a MicroDAC at the NY meet. I was just generalizing.

Not a great looking cable but functional, taking the time to make sure the wires were clean, and the solder flowed completly.

Looks like my Hornet found a good home!

My original Hornet had a silver knob. After sending it for M modding, it came back with a gold knob. My guess is the newer Hornets have gold knobs instead.

Actually, I'm the original owner, I specifically asked for a gold knob....I liked the look of it.

Toshiba made some IDE 1.8" 80gb hdds. But they are damned expensive!.

The MK8007GAH is just that.

Kramer, that IC looks like a leech

kramer5150, am surprised to see the Muvo Micro/N200 as your source.

I use Muvo N200 with UM2s for jogging, and I must say it sounds fairly poor. Sound signature feels distant, like you are not there with the artist, no warmth to it at all. Even cnet complained about SQ with N200.

The reason I still have it, is that it is the ease of use. AAA rechargables, and it comes with a belt clip

UM2's cord is not long enough to have the player dangle in the pant pocket.

it's actually a muvo v100. i say the quality is pretty good for anything other than analytical listening... but i have to admit i use the custom EQ a lot

and i only use it with marshmallows or ksc75's. portability for me means being able to throw it in my bag/pocket in under 5 seconds and still have all my gear protected

Ultra-portability.

Yeah' I'll be the first one to highlight its sonic flaws... But, its all I have at the moment, as far as MP3 sources go. I'm thinking about getting a cowon D2 though, but I have to get my Entech DAC repaired first. I don't think it sounds all together terrible/unlistenable for the money with an amp... But then again I'm not listening critically when I am at work or out & about.
