H320 or JB3
« on: July 13, 2009, 05:26:46 PM »
I am looking into a back up recorder and I am up in the air between these two recorders.  I Wanted to get some feed back from others before I make a purchase.  Thanks in advance.

Iriver no question.  I had both, not that i had any problems with the JB3, but it looks like a shitty cd player and not nearly as easy to navigate, but beyond that they both have digi in 20GB ect.  somebody should take a pic who has both and sit em side by side.  Iriver

Yes--iriver. While I have had some issues with both, it's been far less with the iriver. The transfer process alone should be enough--so much easier on the iriver. That said, if you want my old jb3...

The 320 doesn't have a digital in though, does it?

That being said, I hate my JB3.

H320 all the way with rockbox.  It's a no brainer.  No software required to transfer music over and it's pretty easy to swap out the HDD and Battery.

Another vote, here, for H320...
I have been eyeing the one in the YS... I assume you are too...  ;)

Rockboxed, it'll play videos too.
I had a working one briefly. I really liked it.

I have both (well.....an H120 not H320).   While the JB3 is a solid recorder, I favor the iRiver all the way.  The gain meters alone are far superior.

Chuck, What is a RTC mod for an Iriver? 

RTC is Real Time Clock.
I added a small chip that keeps time for the iHP-120 and iHP-140 recorders. There is a thread at the RockBox forum about it.
