rtsy, hope you won't mind sharing this thread of yours with me.
i've decided to go for portability over sound quality, so i'm in the hunt for a portable as well. from what i've read at
www.head-fi.org, older models, in general are better than the current ones, both in headphone output and line output. problem is, almost all of the portables available here are the newer ones, which most of the people head-fi find less desirable than the portables manufactured in the 90s. most of today's portables (panasonics, in particular) also lack the line output that i want, as well.
anyone here can suggest which among the current portables is the best buy?
thanks.
