$800 for an mp3 player is crazy!

The $35 Sandisk Clip+ also plays FLAC. I like the idea of a player with more than one card slot, however I want it to be under $100(under $50 would be even better! :)  )

Why all the greif? It looks like a great player sans the resistors. Warranty, reliability and sound sans resistors should be our only concerns. I really like the profile, parts and concept. Yes, the marketing and engineering segments got their signals crossed but so what if it works and holds up. It's not like the company whose player I use always got every bit of their marketing spot on either. Won't stop me from using or liking it.

So I got it in today, and loading music as I type this. So far the build is amazing compared to my HM-801, and so much more portable as well. Will post some of my thoughts on it after some some time listening to it.

Happy New Year, congrats but...what did you get? AK100 or RWAK100?

Happy New Year!
 
Apparently the AK100 was released with hopes that they would get rich quick before the Mayan Apocalypse would erase us all. Which is the amount of time when the audiophile community confirmed the output impedance of the product...
 
Just kidding :) Waiting on the RWAK100!

If anyone who just got their AK100 or RWAK100 has a DX100 to sell...please PM me.
