I'd gladly trade touchscreen and wifi for decent sound quality.

You can emulate the Zune with Mac, but such hassle.

Hey what happened to pictures, people?

Also, I'd sacrifice some SQ for wifi, etc. I'd rather have one device that can do a lot of useful things pretty well, than a bunch of different ones that do these things superbly. More specifically, I'd rather have my DAP, phone, and digital organizer in one device than carry three separate gadgets.

wow; thats the complete opposite to me; i'd much prefer to have one device that does things awesomely than one that does them all just well.

My iphone 3G is the only device like that that I have evr felt worked and I still carry a DAP plus amp around with me most of the time. that being said; the iphone sounds pretty good with pico

Hmmm, an iPhone, for me, could never replace my E61 and Cowon D2... Just the best two gadgets for me.

The E61 has a better feature-set, for me (not into crazy easy UI, like a challenge/stuff to play with. tech head) and the Cowon has an SD slot, a must for me now, and drag and drop, and (IMO) superior SQ, all in a cheaper package (16 y/o, PAYG sim and seperate sim for 3g package) so I guess i'm like qusp.

Playing around with my new Canon G9

 

[jarrett]

I don't have my Sony S618 in it this time...

Etymotic ER6i (left channel died)

replaced with...

Head-Direct RE2

 

[Calexico]

Which do you like more?

 

[jarrett]

I'll post about it later but...

RE2 is noticeably more detailed, has more bass, same sort of balanced sound signature, fits great and isolation about the same, comes with a 5' cord (bet this is new to a lot of people who were expecting the short cord+extension), soundstaging is way better since the ER6i didn't have much. Only downside is it doesn't have the same highs or they are rolled off sooner.

It's a positive and refined upgrade over the ER6i if you can get past the price...they're on sale for $50 right now!

Why do you want pictures of my portable pig?

 

[greenarrow]

My humble portable rig with a el-cheapo earphone

Earphone is a SoungMagic PL30 (less than 10 hrs burn-in time). Not a bad phone IMO as I don't have a pair of audiophile ears. Lack bass but with nice mid and high.

The iBasso D2 Viper pairs with a Sennheiser R130 (wireless) using the DAC part. I'm waiting the arrival of my AKG K702 and the newly developed Compass. This will be my main rig for music listening.

 

[nsx_23]

Is that a hohodiy mini3 you built? I built one as well!

Wait till you upgrade those PL30s to something higher class...
