Regards,

My zune 30 gb serve me well for three years until yesterday, when he died... I'm already did a hard reset and reinstall everything but i think the problem is the HD. In his lifetime he survived a lot of trekking, and I think it has drawn his hard disk.

Well, condolences apart, I´m in the market for a new MP3 player

I use the portapro and want a flash HD player

Informed by this post I had reduced my options to Sony E 16 gb and Sony S 16 gb ( the Sansa Clip+ plus a micro sd 16 g b is almost the same price, so I prefer the long batt life from sony).

My question is, theres a significant SQ difference between this models?

I dont care about the alarm or built in speakers... Theres something I didin't saw to justify the price difference?

Thanks in advance!

P.s. - Sorry for my rusty english, long time just reading...

before i buy my S544 last sunday i also audition the E, but the sound of the S is more lively
w/o tweaking the EQ a/b comparison i do more like the S its more clean and clear. tweak
EQ a/b still i prefer the S. i do hear more detail sound and better clear bass on S.

i love my S544 and it is a very good upgrade coming from creative Zen.
and also the S544 drive my MS1i flawlessly.. sweet!

I just had the same problems with the same models

And I've chosen E series, E340 to be exactly. On the ABI site there is a review of this dap and the author compared SQ of S and E. They absolutely the same as he told. That was my main reason.

i don't see any obvious reason why a sony E series and a S series should sound noticeably different..

Thanks Head Fiers!

This is the nicest community I've ever found on the web.

My choice is made, I dont see reasons to spend more on S series... My wallet already suffered enough in 2009.

A great decade to us all!

rather than just reading on peoples opinion, i do believe its more better to audition them
personally, have them in your hands, hear them A/B. then decide

(if you have the chance)
for $10 diff. you got 42 hours battery life + speaker feature. if you dont like it then you save $10
