Which Sony MP3 player to buy?

[Sony_Fan]

I was browsing through the Best Buy website and they only have 3 of the MP3 players that I'm interested in: 4GB, 8GB, and 16GB versions. I think these are the E and S series. My questions, do all these 3 MP3 players have the same sound quality when playing back music, or do they have different amplifiers? Thanks.

I'm hoping I'll get a response this time. I'm considering buying an S series Sony 8GB Mp3 player. My questions is does it have equalizers (bass and treble controls) and does it have a LINE OUT function in the menu settings? The BestBuy website isn't very specific on this. Thanks.

All Sony mp3 players pretty much have the same SQ, just somewhat different build qualities & screens. Buy ANY Sony and be confident that you'll get excellent SQ.

Thanks, but do they have LINE OUT function in the menu settings?

No line out in the settings, but this is a line out for the Sony players (I use one myself in the car): http://www.amazon.com/FiiO-L5-Line-Cable-Walkman/dp/B003UCI2CI

Thanks. I'm really looking into moving away from Minidisc and just using a Sony MP3 player. ATRAC SP 292kbps is the best compression codec out there, no question about it. But recording in real time and then titling the tracks, and finding a way to normalize all the tracks takes too long. So I'd rather just use a real MP3 player and MP3gain.

Japan Edition are the best!

They do not have the sound limitation!

I wonder how to get them!

this is the link and someone put some sites where to buy the unrestricted one, but they are all with the limitation!

I contacted them.

Even if you get the Japan edition it only has the Japanese symbols...
