- needs the sub-pack attached for line-in connection
- bigger gain steps - this is the main reason there's no AGC-safety on them...

have fun!

those were the reasons i didnt buy it myself too peter
but as my cousin wont use it for taping, its ok
i didnt find much info about the x5 as a wav recorder, thats why ill give it a try
some people might have one as mp3 players and are afraid of using it as a recorder

as i said, will upload samples on sunday if all goes well ;D

Post by: BlackLab on September 07, 2007, 03:22:37 PM: thought it couldnt record WAV?
Voice recording:
64-128 Kbps MP3

Line-in recording:
64-320 Kbps MP3

I was interested in one as it could play FLAC

as Arni said, with rockbox it can record uncompressed WAV..
rockboxing it will also allow you to play gapless FLAC files ;)
