I think that costs as much as the 30GB iPod 5.5. Not too good a deal, I reckon. I'll still go with HDD for capacities above 5GB.

well.... it realli depends on e user... flash drives r alot more durable than HDD.... partly coz HDD wears n tears due to itz spinning disc... plus u carn possibly carry a HDD out to jog... far too dangerous rt...

i agree tt 8gig is super costly now... wait for a few mths... prices will drop drastically...

Actually, what the general idea about impedance vs resistance is wrong..

 

impedance does not equal to resistance...

new stuff learnt.. cool!!

erm actualli if u can wait...

hold out a while... ipod 8gig nano is out...

im qt sure iaudio and iriver r gonna churn out their larger flash drives real soon... mayb 4mths??

O_O...

i always thot sensitivity n impendence are linked...

iM716 has a impedence of 68ohms in HD & 37 ohms in bass mode...

n i think e sound sig of iM716 and ety is v close.. if not almost similar..

to say tt ety and iM716 is similar only in the earpiece (does he mean the eartips and the plastic casing??) is lk tryin to imply tt iM716 is ridin on the waves of ety and Don Wilson is being qt hostile to e idea...

hmm...

I think he meant sound imaging or commonly mistakenly called soundstage.

 

Headroom:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headroom

 

Headroom is also a company that sells headphones...

 

Headroom is also an organisation that assist in mental health issues for youths

i went to wiki too... e def too chimmmm~ for me already... erm mayb i narrow down my qn..

watz e diff betw a "closed-in" and "wider" in terms of headroom??

diggin up a old thread... juz gort iM716 (frm newbie123)...

e clarity iz there.. but i feel tt e singer sound distant... as compared to my dead B&O earphones...

does u guyzZ feel tt way??

oh ya... still using e tri-flange... not too comfy thou.. shld b changin to either ety biflage of shure soft flex soon...

pardon me... but watz e def/ meaning of headroom??

i tried searching through the audiophile discription but carn find it...

anyw...

go try several DAPs before commiting ya...

fyi... iriver n iaudio DAPs can also b rockboxed...

but do note tt rockbox = no warrenty

so ya~

erm....

if ure gg comex... give iriver e10 & iaudio m5l or x5l a try b4 commiting to nano...

they r better than nano in terms of sound quality... but they r a lil on the higher side...

hmm had a veri bad experience wif creative products... my first mp3 player zen micro broke down 10 times.... like WT*.... just charged for once then hang... a lot of probs.. so i am not gonna get creative products.. was considering i river.. ani i river users here?

erm... u can try iriver e10... saw it at SE... not sure of e performance thou... no one here owns/ gave a review on it... u can try askin aron bout it ...

if not... h10 is an apple to e eye... thou i feel tt it has some bugs tt irritated me at times( turn on itself, lcd and musci produced doesnt match... but u can rockbox it...

hi... i've pmed u re e white er-6i!!!

hi...

r u lettin go of e white ety er-6i... im interested...

wah...

2dae i learn more abt DAPs n earphones..

so if i compare iriver e10 against iaudio 6... the output alone doesnt sae much la... coz software can do the tweakin..

hmm....

haha...

okok i'll go gif it a try..

thanzZ!!!!!

^^ dotzZ~

i read!!!

e onli one i see is EAC wif LAME...

but iz there any others??

or iz EAC e "best" there is at the moment??

the figures do not represent how loud a dap vol can go...

realli??

wat does output 30mW + 30mW means btw??

does it mean it can drive a earphone/headphone better??

which converters do u guyzZ reccomend... im a win xp user...

dun feel lk using music jukebox these daezZ~

thanzZ~

i personnally prefer iriver... but considering iaudio cowon now...

coz iaudio6 haf a higher output of 30mW + 30mW as compared to iriver e10's 18mW + 18mW...

hmmm... which shld i take...

diggin up an old thread...

wanna ask wat converters do u guyzZ use??

hmm... juz wondering...

does price of earphones gradually depreciate or will they rise & drop...

coz 160 a darn gd price but im a lil hard up + wait for b'dae... which is lk 5mths away...

haizZ
