Can I get a little help here? I know the Sony S-series players apparently are some of the best sounding yet, but if the Sony was playing nothing but MP3 files at 320kbps and the Clip was playing nothing but FLAC, which would sound better?
I like to feel like I'm immersed in my music (a.k.a. as close to live as possible without sacrificing anything from the original recording), and I've heard the Clip has GREAT soundstage. That's all I know, though.
Some examples of the music I will be listening to on the player I get:
Muse:
YouTube - Muse - New Born (Full Length version)
YouTube - Muse Sing for Absolution
YouTube - Muse- Hysteria
YouTube - Time Is Running Out
Dinosaur Jr.:
YouTube - Dinosaur Jr. You're Living All Over Me 1
YouTube - Dinosaur Jr. You're Living All Over Me 2
YouTube - Dinosaur Jr. You're Living All Over Me 3
YouTube - Dinosaur Jr. You're Living All Over Me 4
Minus The Bear:
YouTube - Minus the Bear - Pachuca Sunrise
YouTube - Minus the Bear - Absinthe Party
YouTube - Minus the Beaer - Monkey!!! Knife!!! Fight!!!!
YouTube - "Throwin' Shapes" - Minus the Bear
Rage Against The Machine:
YouTube - Bulls On Parade - Rage Against The Machine
YouTube - Rage Against The Machine - Sleep Now In The Fire
And there's much more. I might end up getting both in the long run (one for an everyday beater player and one for my media player for car trips and such), but I'm trying to figure out which I should get first. Also, more than just "Get _______ it sounds good!" would be appreciated.
Please help!
