Hi all,

Been ages since ive been on here but I am looking to buy a new dap and wondered what the suggestions are at the moment?

A little history, my first ever player was the iriver h340 (I know, I think it spoilt me as I have a suspicion no other players even today can come close to the functionality of that player?) and then a few months later bought an ipod nano for use in the gym seeing as they were solid state as opposed hdd. Anyway I digress...

Now, I still have the h340 and nano but am after upgrading to something a little more modern and smaller (than the h340 anyway) and would like something with the functionality and features of the h340 but with the design cues of the apple i.e. lithe, tactile, classy, stylish etc.

Basically, whats out there at the moment from apple and iriver both flash memory and hdd. Storage size, well, I only have 18 gigs of music full stop, but, as with most things storage wise, more is more.

Now, solid state flash memory would be useful as I plan on using this in the gym, however, I am not one of those who hit the treadmill at 30 mph, more of a weightlifter really so feel that isnt much of an issue tbh?

So, I wondered what peoplkes recommendations where at the moment for the best most fully featured dap payers are, bearing in miond, I always appreciated the auio quality that the h340 afforded.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions guys

Take it easy and Happy New Year
