Hirsh can you give a comparison between the sound of d-303 and optimus through headphone out, lineout and optical out. Many of us have been waiting for a direct comparison of the optimus and one of sonys best.

PCDP's have headphone and digital outputs, in addition to the line out??? I don't think I've ever used them.
I'll try and do some sort of comparison. The digital out comparison could be tricky. The D-303 has a Toslink out, while the digital out of the Optimus is coax. I'll have to find a mini to RCA mono adapter to hook a cable up there. OTOH, the different formats will let me run both into a Monarchy DIP, for easy switching and optical to coax conversion. I'll post after I've had a bit of listening time in.
I can't explain why the Nomad sounds better than my portable CD and MD players but it does. Possible it has better D/A converters - it definitely has a better amplifier.
I definitely hear more detail from familiar recordings - the Nomad 3 works really well with the Etymotics - a very revealing headphone - with no problems.
