Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon.

Disabling it will result in some disabled or missing features.

Used once or twice the operating system is fine with no problems.

Volume via the 6.4 Jack is more than enough for anyone.

Ensure you use some very good earphones to compliment the very good output quality of this device.

Have also used C4 to play Flac files thro amplifier and Speakers.

It should also be remembered that this device is a very good stand alone DAC Some people may find the C4 bulky and with old fashion design features but walnut case, size and weight leave an impression of quality - A very good build quality.

There are other similar players available but not at this price and believe none have the larger Jack socket.

I had used iTunes match and was getting fed up with the way covers kept changing and tracks were changing order.

Im familiar with databases and was basically frustrated in not having the database model so I could get everything perfect.

I came up with an alternative plan of perfect sound reproduction instead I bought this player on the grounds of good reviews on the web.

I also had collected some FLAC files and other downloads on the computer and was wondering whether LinnApple were right that downloading was the future and whether I was going to buy into it.

I recently bought a Yamaha BluRay player that also played SACDs and was struck by the brilliance of the definition and soundstage (especially of piano music.

They dont give you a UK power adaptor for a 500 music player The player needs songs converted to the right format to play 24 bit FLACS at 192 kHz (extra software required on a MAC) The player displays the tracks in the order they are copied to it (3 Apple hidden files being first on the list) You get thumps through the headphones at power up and down You get whooshes when certain tracks finish They cant even proof read the display It says TF (which is MicroSD) or INTERAL (internal in a Chinese accent) The software update to cure the whoosh locked it up.

But it did reset okay The MicroSD card gets stuck and doesnt pop out properly The 3.5 mm headphone jack is slightly stubborn - stopping slightly short in mono - till you push harder The sound playing through the HiFi is slightly flat, though I suspect this is because I have a valve amplifier.

The higher impedance 14 jack is better for this and I think a low capacitance cable too The RCA jacks for digital in and out arent central in the holes The player is slightly large for portable use, but not impossible In conclusion, this is a mobile music player with excellent sound quality.

For quality of anything else, including build, I think Apple are still hard to beat I am not unhappy that I bought this, but I wouldnt bother again.

I would stick with iTunes and pod for mobile use (train, walk etc) where some of the benefit of the sound quality is lost, and buy a good SACD player for home use Where this would be excellent would be for a two home person; studio flat in the city and house in the country.

With suitable compact speakers and amp, or domestic headphones, this would be splendid in a small flat and could be primed up at the weekend with something new to play.
