Well, in that case I'll have to look to import, preferably with zero to minimum shipping, hopefully from Singapore or wherever else it'll be available!
I'm curious. Do you have mostly mp3 files that you use the Walkman for?
I understand your curiosity Mr Ganesh, but I use 16/44.1 FLAC mostly, and otherwise iTunes downloaded or else good quality mp3's. But my main preference for a portable (apart from the obvious convenience of portability) is due to my limited good quality desktop setup experience (the only DAC I own currently is an E07k).
And IMO, the iPod classic & E07k combo comes pretty close to the E07k DAC through USB. This, plus the fact that the new Walkman is a Hi Res supporting player, plus comes with a memory card slot and very good battery life, as well as connect through LO is what is tilting yours truly towards it. I know this must sound like child's talk to you, but please note that I have very limited exposure to 'audiophile grade' sound, and hence my inclination towards more budget portable devices.
it will not be budget if you import it.

lol,true that
Thank the stupid mofo customs for that,i just lost rs 882 on a bill of 3800
In this hobby, one never looks down on another's preference. I am never comfortable with IEMs so the portable route was never an option I wanted. However, I use my iPhone for some music when I'm at the gym so I use it with the Beyerdynamic t51p that I bought today. Very good pair of HPs, IMO and a tad under 20K. I am a desktop guy for the most part though.
Man, that's steep. I regularly pay customs 30% of invoice+shipping. I am lucky from time to time when I don't have to pay anything. But I thought anything under 10K was not subject to tax. Is my understanding right?
get fiio x1,should best a17 imho
