I am so jealous. My T51 was broken. I tried to repair it and destroyed it in the process. :.(

 
Sorry to hear about your T51 loss, I recently destroyed a rare discontinued player from India I believe.
 
Used Cirrus CS4398 DAC, the sound was great. All I have left is a photo.

Tell me more about it. First time I see this beauty.



I believe I had a good old rant about the unit here once:

Probably too much ranting as I was overly fascinated with the unit on arrival. It had this wonderful powerful presentation (maybe not exactly flat by default) which was allowing me to hear little nuisances in singers vocals, that extra bite which touches your soul as they push out and shape vocals in a song.  Far above that of a DX50 unit. Exclusively engaging.
 
This is why I was disappointed when it became ruined. You cannot buy them anymore, I've even had my friend in India look for this player,, discontinued years ago. Looks like it slipped past Head-Fi's radar too.

The most interesting fact is that they sold below 30€ at some point!
 
To me it kind of looks like a generic chinese rebranded MP4 player. Maybe I will find something similar, but with another name.
 
EDIT: did not find anything

I'd say that is normal for our kind! :wink: But remember sponsorships and freebies are common in those circles.

Totally normal. Even in movies I stop it as soon as someone is wearing a headphone and try checking out the brand/model - freaks my wife out....:)
