Adaptor
The 1a output is plenty for the charge cycle. From Ziggyb's posts, it seems 500ma closer to what battery needs for charge. This also is supported by the 4 AA battery recharge tests that Big D did. The voltage is fully selectable in AC-DC or DC-DC mode so that isn't a problem.
The 2A rating on the mains adaptor is it's rating, the player will only draw as much current as it needs. The voltage setting is more important and again both Big D's and Ziggy's post are quite useful, it seems that the player will recharge at 4.5 to 6 volts without problem.
What is of interest to me is that this combines an AA recharger with the AC adaptor...which means I don't have to carry both a recharger and an adaptor for the player. We have a Canon A40 camera that takes (4) AA rechargeables and Gameboys from my kids so this device would fit the "family" bill. Not sure I would need the DC-DC. However the smaller Matlin unit would be perfect for emergency backup. I am interested in both options.
