I've had all SlimX models but the famous 350 and I have to say that the 550 is the best one; even against its slightly better-sounding counterpart the 900. The 550 has a better body (metal all around), optical out for all formats, a 32-MiB buffer (as opposed to the 16 found in the 900), a more pleasing shape of the unit, good battery life even out of the internals. I suppose the best combo would be as follows: iMP-550 unit & iMP-900 remote & battery adaptor.

Any more questions? Ask me.
