Hi,

I've got some birthday money , and was wondering if it's worth upgrading to a samsung dap (t9 or z5 ) ... SQ being my main reason ( ok battery and capacity too) ... My current DAP's are the Creative Zen v+ / Rio carbon and Ipod 1st gen shuffle... the carbon is the best, but is falling apart ( taped together ATM)

The differences between these players are not big , mostly tonal. I compared them using my kramer ksc75 and px100's . The sound is a little thin for my liking. But I don't want an amp. I've some Philips hp460's coming ( similar to akg k81) wich will probably be my main portable cans in the future.

Hope someone can help me

Since you are in Europe, I'd get an 8gb T9.

If you're considering the T9, also look into the Sony A81x or S61x. I just got a A818 and I love it. Not sure what, if any, advantages the T9 has over the Sonys.

The Z5 is kind of outdated (even though they, to the surprise of everyone, recently released a firmware upgrade that added a text reader).

I don't mind about it being outdated... As long as it plays music. the z5 is a bit cheaper.

I used to have a meizu m6 but I sold it because I didn't like the sound, to overblown and digital sounding.

The Z5 has also the gapless feature (added in the last firmware).

IF you like rich and dynamic sound, try Sony S700/600 series.

I'd wait for the T10 and P2 series.

im just waiting for a head to head comparison between the ipod touch and the samsung p2 on their SQ. better SQ wins for me.
