I bought dbPoweramp for 2 computers. Its saved me so much time and grief compared to EAC. The music converter is nice too, and can convert 4 songs simultaneously with a quad-core cpu, one song per core.
I'd be real interested in seeing the inside of the player, if you do get a chance to write a review. There's not much info on the player out there, that I've found. And definitely no internal gear porn.
I hope I'm wrong, but this is the only picture of the back I could find, and I believe it only has digital out.
