Portable Playback
« on: September 20, 2005, 10:41:01 AM »
I'm also looking to upgrade my portable listening rig.  I have a 3rd Gen IPod that I've had now for about 2 years and I've been pretty satisfied so far.  Anyway, I haven't really kept up all too much on this stuff since I've had my IPod... anyone have some suggestions?  The IRiver looks cool but I have a PSP I can play video on so a player that plays strictly music would be ideal.

if you are just wanting an upgrade in sound, how about an upgrade in headphones?  maybe some grado's?  ety's?

If you are just looking for hotel playback type stuff, the sonic impact t-amp with the carboard speakers doesn't sound too bad.
