Er... looks like I did indeed misread.

Man... this thing is awesome. I'm sure my S9 was this good too. I think it has more settings than the S9 though. Better interface too. But man... WAY better than the iphone4

and the sound is a teeny bit better technically speaking. I think it has less bass roll off or something along those lines. The anythingbutipod.com review goes over the technical readings using sound measuring devices

Well, I don't know if the BBE Bass has anything to do with it, but the sound is for sure quite a bit more distinct in the bass section when that is on.

Fuck, forgot to buy the i9... but then again, should I buy the i9 or the X7... Hmmm... I would likely use the i9 or X7 for the car... The X7 seems like a waste for using only in the car vs the i9. I was considering maybe even getting both and gifting the X7 to my dad... the only problem with that is the issues with album info being fucked up at times and I have no patience to teach him how to fix it. I would also die a little bit inside if he would just leave it to the side and not use it.

I gifted him with my old ipod nano years ago. He says he uses it but I've barely seen him use it. Afaik, he uses it until the battery is done and then it sits around for a while since my bro steals the cable here and there for a spare to use to charge his iPhone.

Getting both seems to have pros and cons. i9 for the car seems ok, but I don't know if the X7 would be used by my dad. The other way seems kind of wasteful. An X7 just for the car? 2 i9s seems silly too. Buying both also somehow seems like a waste of money...

Seriously people. You have no idea how exciting the sound on these things are. Zune vs iPods = comparable at the time I tested. (iPhone4 sound vs Zune). A Cowon on normal = the same. Sort of a "Meh" sound. Cowon + BBE = HOLY SHIT. Mp3 OR Flac... doesn't sound right on "normal". I assume BBE Bass was designed for those who like pop music and techno?

Btw mgz, what sound output do you use for your J3? I have used HD555 on it so far. Have yet to test out the HD280pro on it. I don't feel a need to pick up another set of cans yet. Denon does indeed sound like something fun to try out. Too damn bad there's no way for me to pick up a pair in Canada yet (Shipping restrictions and stuff) and I'm not a fan of ebay. Maybe a vac trip to the US one day would be a good time to pick up a pair. :P
