  1. I forgot to tell that I have the A800 (and happy with it, since is has more features than the 810 and I don't have any problems with SS so far...)
  2. The A810 shouldn't become too popular. It's great to have an exclusive player like this, most of my friends have players from Iaudio (just like I had, I was the first with an Iaudio ) They became Iaudio-fans, but when I showed them my sony about 2 months ago they were surprised to hear a device sounding better than their Iaudio's. The sony gives a more natural sound (no really need for sound enhancements, I don't even use the EQ, since it sounds better without it) Iaudio's have a great EQ, but without "pimping" the sound it doesn't sound too good
  3. I'm getting more and more the feeling that I'm lucky to have bought an 808 just before the 818 came out....
  4. Hmm I'm sure CNet would have given an 8.3 or higher if there would have been a different brandname on it (imagine there was an apple on it, it would have been given 11 out of 10 for sure ) Ok the sony 810 lacks some features like other devices have (recorder/fm/games etc.) but it's really good at the (at least according to me) main things like speed/interface/SQ (haven't heard better sound and I have compared a lot of devices in shops)...

    NWZ A810 Playlists

    Hmm if this is true, I'm happy I bought an 808 just before the 818 came out.... I don't have any problems with sonicstage and my WMP library is such a mess that I don't really want synchronize.... Anyway, I'm getting off-topic, main thing is: Unbelieveble to hear that the 818 doesn't have the "bookmarksystem" like the 808 has.

    A808 Video

    My NW-a808 is charging and I really tried to say it the right way, trying wasn't enough, lol. Anyway, you found the right button by your self, so I'm happy your problem is solved

    A808 Video

    In videoscreen just use the left arrowbutton and your movie starts from the beginning... Note: When you switch between Video Display directions, the arrow changes along with it (so always use the left arrow, whatever the direction you use)
  8. (mind if I change your into something more readable, don't use that much empty spaces...) You can't compare sony's to Ipods if you look at the soundquality. You can say a lot about Ipods, but not that sound as great as Sony's/Irivers/Iaudio's and so on. An Ipod is more stylish (although I prefer the looks of my a808 over every Ipod, especialy the new Nano looks really ugly) and it has an userfriendly interface, but in my opinion you pay for too much for what you get. About volume, I don't get your complaining, usually I listen at 30% of its max and sometimes up to 50-60%. Else it would blow up my ears
  9. I'm interested too... I've had a cowon U2 for several years. I was looking for a new DAP with more memory and because of its great SQ I initially wanted a cowon again. Then I saw some other interesting DAP's and after some more research the Cowon Iaudio D2, Iriver Clix 2 and the Sony NW-A808 came out as the best options for me. I compared them in several shops and for me the Sony sounded the best, second was the D2. For about the same price the D2 has much more features than the sony (Radio/Games/Text-viewer/more supported musicformats/memoryslot etc). Why did I choose the sony then? The SQ and the interface (searching by genre/artist/songalbum (MP3-tags) instead of folders!) were my main reasons. I only want to use my DAP for listening to music. I have my cellhone if I want to play games, listen to the radio and stuff I would like to know your thoughts, maybe you totally disagree with me

    DVD Video onto A80x

    I use Imtoo DVD to MP4-converter and it works really fine for me. You could choose between many profiles like PSP/Ipod video and so on. I chose to make one my own (320x240, 768kbit, 29.97 frames/second and for the Audiop a bit rate of 192 (I ripped a music DVD and I wanted the sound to be good). It's easy to use and the quality is really fine

    New Walkmans (NWZ Series)

    I know, I've tested a lot of mp3-players (Iaudio D2 and 7, Iriver Clix 2) and for me the Sony NW-A808 came out as the best option considering SQ, mobility (size) and userinterface as the most important requirements... With such a long time of comparing and testing I'm not going to reconsider my choice And yes indeed the A808 is brilliant Just hope they will release new FW, although I don't have any problems with Sonicstage untill now...

    New Walkmans (NWZ Series)

    Decided to accept my A808, couldn't resist it It would take ages before the A818 is available here in Holland and I just can't wait that long

    New Walkmans (NWZ Series)

    Then I'll have to prevent myself for accepting it... Another thing, In holland there are not so many (web)shops selling the sony's. The price of a 808 is steady €230 for more than 2 or 3 month now. I don't really expect the Dutch shops to drop their prices.
  14. I read somewhere else that's just impossible, although I would like to see somebody else confirming the opposite

    New Walkmans (NWZ Series)

    Today I'll receive my A808, but now I'm sure wether to accept it or not. It might be better to wait for the new A818, because he seems to be way cheaper (sonystyle price= 230 dollar and I paid 230 euro for the A808, that's quite a big difference considering the fact 1 Dollar = 1.366 euro....) On the other hand, I don't like waiting so long for a new device, my current one (Cowon Iaudio U2, 512 MB ) just need to be replaced by a new player with a lot more memory
