I'd have to say the Rio Karma. line out + amp + flac= superior to ipod with AL and amp

Md players have great sound.

 

[pank2002]

I think its the nomad jukebox 3. wave + lineout + amp + 2 batteries + 98db

I'd say Nomad Jukebox 3 is about the same as Karma, if you use the line-out on the Karma's dock.
Other than that NJBR 3 is like the only mp3 jukebox with a true built in line-out.

Only flaw with karma I can think of is it's not MAC compatible

And the 'knock them hard' to fix HDD issue.

Just use ethernet, and upgrade the firmware at a friend's house.
About the HDD issue... there's also the 'shake it rapidly' fix.

I've never had to use either, though.

There are some places where we could not use ethernet and I am in this kinda places often

Ex: I am on campus, saw there are some good songs stored on the server, if I use the ethernet, the whole row will lost its connection

Personally I will say: None!

??? You've heard both to compare, right?

 

[austonia]

this is basically another "which player sounds the best" thread

IMO, NJB3 or iPod

I'd have to strongly disagree about the Karma, I've personally A/B tested it, and I invite anyone over to my house to see for themselves

[jet_fighter00]

But I love my Rio Karma

.
You can never take away from the excellent sound of it. And a 5 band parametric EQ helps.
