The ALO Rx has a little bit of hiss, like about half of what Sony players have. That is what I mean by hiss. Otherwise, it is probably the most technically excellent amp I've ever used.

Any recommended good protective case for Nationite S:Flo2.

Just cover it in Zagg shield and be done.  Kick it around on gravel if you like.  If you are receiving a package from Yemen I suggest a Pelican case.

I kept mine in an old sock and it was fine. Just ask George.

The sock is perfect for the s:flo. Plus it can stay warm in it during winter. It is almost like a sleeping bag for the s:flo 2. Here is a pic:

Haha, yes, very cute. I kept my scratch-prone touch in one for 6 months, taking it out only to bump the screen and never had any scratches. Then, after washing the sock, it shrunk and I didn't bother. now the thing is all dinged up.

I know the player doesn't support gapless. However, I've read that FLAC is gapless anyway. Can someone verify for me if FLAC files play seamlessly from track to track? Examples are tracks 1 & 2 on Beatles' White Album or most tracks on Pink Floyd's DSotM.
 
S1rrah was going to check this for me when he got a chance but maybe somebody can confirm quickly. It is down to Cowon J3 or s:flo2 for me, and this is the deciding factor. I can't live with gaps between the tracks on a seamless album.

It's not gapless.

There are gaps, but if you make the album a cue file, you can play the album gapless. Basically, it does not play gapless with standard FLAC, but there are work-a-rounds.

 

[Inks]

Could you elaborate on this workaround?

 

[s1rrah]

@ Orcin. Sorry, friend. It's not gapless. I will say, though, the gap is very short between tracks.About a  1 second space and all. Between track one and two on the White Album(tm). But hey ... it's only rock and roll. Let me know if you get the Cowon! I want to try it out! ... Rock it, Ken!

houseofdap.com are really taking their time, I want to hear this thing now

 

[DJGeorgeT]

It took a month for an order to arrive from house of dap and in fact it was for a T51. I was losing my sanity by then and as soon as Shigzeo put up his for sale, I jumped on it. Shig's package beat hod by two weeks

. Insane.

^^ See, glory to my package!
