Yeah, sorry, I did immediately perform a web search -- I guess the real question is, does anyone have a favourite, or has any a priori knowledge of any of these that I should lean towards or away from?

...although...all my stuff is in FLAC, so I'd have to at least temporarily double my disk space...unless...does anyone know of a FLAC player for iOS?

I have an outboard amp for the Z7 -- a Headamp Pico Power, which is more than sufficient. Although if I do get the X5 Gen 3, I will definitely check out the onboard amp. It's that good, huh? Oh, fuck, I am such a dunderhead sometimes, I'll just use my iPod Touch. Dagnabit, keep forgetting about that thing, out of sight, out of mind.

Mock thread, nothing to see here, move along.

Far too lazy to import from South Korea, I'm happy with just keeping them separate. I think if anything needed the faraday cage, it'd be the ...amp? Cable leading up to the amp? I think I'll just start keeping my charging cable with me.

Well not being fond of the Stones, it was pretty easy for me to give her a fair shake -- yeah, that's pretty...pretty. It has a Tori Amos-ish vibe to it, if you're not familiar with her. Although I'd be surprised if anyone could make "Shattered" listenable. Yes, that's a challenge, set it out there. And Silvertone is such a great album. I remember being frustrated for the longest time until that came out on CD. Going on a Chris Issak binge nao...(Silvertone, second album, Heart Shaped World, San Francisco Days, etc.)

Sounds like you need a lapel mic, like they give the guests on talk shows. Or one of those hands-free microphones, like they have on TedTalks.

The problem with using my cell phone is noise -- whenever it does some background (or foreground, for that matter) task to get data over the network (either wi-fi or cellular), it generates this harsh digital shit that is borderline maddening. I can't even keep it on the same side of my desk as the player when charging.

Well I'm in the market for a bang/buck portable digital audio player. It's mostly backup, since I found my pink Walkman, but every once in a while it runs out of juice before the day is done, so it'd be nice to get a second one to alternate with. Should I just get a second Walkman, since I love mine so much? Or should I get a Fiio X3 or X5? Or other? Or should I nothing, and just start carrying my charging cable around with me?

Art of Noise, In Visible Silence (deluxe edition) -- damn, this remaster sounds excellent ... the noise floor is practically gone.

I certainly didn't.

RIP to all of them.

I condone this thread.

Happy birthday, Raffy! (¡party favour noise!)

I'd say it's multiple signs. (rimshot)

Black Forest Ham sammich on 9 grain honey oat with provolone, toasted, with lettuce, tomato, onion, cucumber, black olive, pepperoncini, jalapeño, and spicy sauce. (Yes, from Subway -- I need to find one that keeps Swiss cheese in stock, though.)

This.

Tapatalk doesn't like anyone. Good thing you have 5 million++ friends.

Happy belated! (pathetic day-after party favour noise)

So I did something I probably should have done before I posted -- I held them up against each other, the ones that fit and the ones that don't quite -- their bodies are the same size, it's the snap-on connectors which are longer.

That doesn't eliminate the pressure on the cervix circuit board.

So I got a couple of no-name pairs of 9V batteries, and I'm worried that they might be slowly breaking my amp, as they are slightly larger than the "MaximalPower" batteries provided by Justin. Are the MaximalPower the same as the iPower ones? They look similar from photos: Although...$30/each. Not sure I want to purchase yet another pair that don't quite fit at that price.

That is awesome, Doug.

Yeah, suicide has been confirmed. So tragic. One of the greatest voices in rock&roll, extinguished by himself.
