Is the iAudio 5 available anywhere else but at eBay? I've tried tracking one down (2GB - haven't found the 2GB even at eBay but maybe I didn't look hard enough) but since it's no longer in production internet stores are dropping them...
What I'm hoping to do is to put together a "backpackers delight" kind of portable rig which means AA and/or AAA only, no internal batteries (even though getting one of
these is an idea). The iAudio 5 seems to have a line out (correct me if I'm wrong) which means I could get a SuperMicro (and maybe a super short, tiny DIY IC between these á la "Kramer's leech"), stitch a simple cover to hold them both and still have a tiny package, sounding excellent and running on batteries. Together with PK1, complemented by a pair of IEMs (probably my current ER4P/S), it should get me through most hurdles, including noisy trains.
Are there other AA/AAA (flash) players with line-out available? [Edit2]: Scratch that, are there AA/AAA flash players with line out at all?
Ooops, didn't mean to hi-jack, sorry. I'm all over AA/AAA players at the moment.
[Edit1]: I can't find any real info on a line out on the iAudio 5 so maybe I jumped to conlusions since there's a second mini-jack (mic?) next to headphone one.
