Anyone recommend a portable FLAC player ?

[Deckard]

Yep my Colorfly arrived Monday am - Came from a recommended Hong Kong eBay seller from the Headfi forums (pm me if you want their ebay name) for 60 quid all in rather than 150 from Amazon. Came perfectly packaged with a lovely box and cloths - Display is absolutely fine for use. I installed the 1.003 upgrade this morning and sat here listening to Jarre Equinoxe Flac now on my Sony MDR1 BRT headphones (cable not BT) and it ......is........SUPERB !!! Underworld earlier this morning "Dark and Long" was as good as it gets for me. I havent used any presets either for these tracks as just want to get used to it flat with no EQ. Just ordered 2x32 gig micro SD cards off Amazon 9 at 14 quid each) to put a few of my fave albums on and tbh this could be my new audio nirvana

Any chance of a photo of it?

Let us know how the battery works out once you've some time spent with it.

Thanks.

And can you try an ogg for me?

[Deckard]

Did you get hammered by Customs and Excise ?

[mrsmr2]

Great, thanks for trying.

Time to think now. I'm currently enjoying my Cowon D2 again after using my Clip+ exclusively for a couple of years.

Does it display the audio tags if they are present, or just the filename?

[Deckard]

No excise duty at all - 59 quid price and 11 shipping - sweet certainly the best 70 quid I've ever spent

Arrived today, upgraded firmware and got a little fright when the it got stuck. Once reset it worked like a dream.

tried an Mp3 to test the DAC and yep sounded much better than on the iPhone so am pleased. Slightly under £80 but well worth it. Just have to get a case and a micro sd card and I can load it up with loads of music

picked up the new MBV album digitally (24/96 wav from their own site for the same price as CD)
bit of fiddling around with Fission (rogue amoeba sound software) and downsampled to 24/48 WAVs.

I'm hooked on mine got 4 micro sd 32 gig with my fave albums on - just loverly.

Now looking also at 80gig 5th gen iPods for Rockbox conversion ....... must.......resist.... edit Too late I couldnt so now got an 80 gig one for 45 quid http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Apple-iPod-cl ... true&rt=nc Rockbox here I come

....... must.......resist.... edit Too late

the glitch at the start of WAV files (when tags have been removed) is a bit irritating so thinking of sticking with FLAC for the moment (only have a few 24 bit files anyway)

[Deckard]

Im Flacist - cant stand those nasty Wavs

[VNVObit]

it's unable to play 24bit flacs hence the wavs.
