Hi everyone,
my a17 arrived yesterday and I have to say that I quite like it in terms of flac/mp3 playback. The EQ works in a similar vein to my old A864, and the overall sound is pushed forward and not recessed like my f886. I haven't really bought into the whole hi res audio thing, but I just wanted this player for the space, price, and micro sd slot. Interesting about the hi-res downsampling, like the guy said in his video, a good bull sh!t detector lol!!!
A couple of other things initially, the player is tiny! Not having a touch screen is a little weird at first, but I suppose that will keep the finger prints away. It is very simple to use, and I am going to do some more testing on it today.
thanks.
