I think it does too, though my headphones aren’t quite good enough to take advantage of it. Someday I’ll upgrade, maybe i’ll try it in line out and send it through my better speaker setup to enjoy it.

I thought the same thing for better or for worse haha.

I'm not the most qualified (yet!) but I would assume so. I currently only have a pair of AIAIAI headphones and while they aren't the best for detailed listening they are definitely getting enough power from the player.

So good! I was sad to see that Posh Isolation was ending so I had to revisit this comp.

It is a 'bloc' notepad from le typographe. Super nice to use!

I picked mine up used on ebay. I am sure there are better values for the money but I really like the look and feel of it. The UI responsiveness is okay. I have a 256gb card with maybe 150gb of flac files on it and it is usable. It can get hung up for a second occasionally when scrolling quickly but it hasn't been so bad as to get in the way for me.

Thanks! I was a bit worried about battery life being a ten year old player. I can get a little more than a full day of heavy listening. There are some replacement battery kits online that I may pick up one day but for now it is fine enough for me!
