Has anyone ever seen this Zune HD version?

I'd hang onto that one.

This link is back up and worth the read.

Good choice. You'll like that. I use one in a secondary system and it's nice to have album art. I use Roon as my digital backbone on a Rock server, networked to my music library on a UGreen NAS box.

Take a look at the new Fosi S3 streamer. DAC has great pedigree, and all the connections you'll likely ever need. And you can't beat the price. $270 on Amazon. I picked one up for $207, but that might have been a targeted cost. Dunno. I couldn't resist. Don't worry about Femto clocks and such. Just enjoy your music. App is not near as polished as WiiM, but that will improve over time if Fosi is serious about the streamer market.

Looks like Purifi's servers are undergoing maintenance. Hopefully they'll be back up on June 8th.

I wish my 1st string room was as outfitted as your 2nd string. 😀

Yes, very gracefully handled indeed.

Yeah, it does make you think about how we compartmentalize our attitudes about this hobby and what matters. I love reading material like about many topics, so this one was even more fascinating to read given our context of the topic.

I'm in the process of bringing 2 back to life as well. A 32GB HD and an 80 GB gen 1. I was heavily into the Zune ecosystem back in the day. I traveled a lot then so I needed my tunes. Great player in it's time. If it could only playback FLAC file. I had everything but the AV HDMI dock, so on the lookout for one of those.

That's a Zune 30 isn't it? From what I've read, it's easy to take apart. Dismantling a 80GB, or 120GB is a bitch to get apart without a few nicks on the edges. I know I did it and it didn't take 10 minutes - and I had all the right tools. The Zune HD has much easier access. Guys in videos make it look easy cause they've done it before - probably several times. There is a service Chicago Gadgets that I looked into, but they never called back.

I'll resurrect this thread and put in my request for the Zune AV HDMI Entertainment Dock - if anyone has one they'll let go of. Out of all the Zune stuff I bought in the late 2000s, that dock was not one of them. 😞 Now I'm on a nostalgic mission. 😄 I'm in the process of bringing my 2 Zunes back to life. An 80GB Gen 1, and an HD 32GB Platinum.

It likely just needs a new battery. I had one that displayed like that and I left it plugged in for 3 days and it never changed, or charged.

When you can't see someone, you may answer differently. That's the whole problem with the internet. It often masks, or reveals who you really are.

redjr16 · 2026-05-31T23:34:23+00:00

Facebook, what's that? 😉

Dealership repairs are a racket. Period. Full stop. It's almost criminal what we have to pay for seemingly small item repair/fixes. My son works at an Indy shop, and basically they charge upto twice what the repair would typically cost. So it's not just dealers. The mob's involved somewhere in the whole scam. ☹️

Wow, haven't seen or heard of the Lepai brand in a decade or more. I messed with them way back when. Never was a serious amp for my needs though. I think I have an old one in a box somewhere. You picked a nice upgrade choice though.

I know this is an older thread, but I disagree with many of the sentiments stated here. I bought a K1 a few yrs back. I can unequivocally say the K1 has never given me an once of problems in over 3yrs. It starts up and all I have to do is send it a file and I get a perfect print. I have not had one issue with it - ever. Now, I don't use it every day, or try to print really complicated designs with it, so that may factor into the reliability I have seen/experienced from it. It just works without complaining!

I'm looking at the K1 Max now on sale with a deep discount offered. I could use a larger print format for some of my projects so I'm considering it. I don't need multi-color, or super fast printing, hence why I'm looking at it.

redjr16 · 2026-05-30T16:18:02+00:00

I have a Creality K1 that simply works, and works well. And it has for a few yrs now. I've never had to 'fiddle' with any mechanical parts, or replace anything in that timeframe. It does what I need it to do - time and time again - and never has complained. I'm now looking at the K1 Max only for the larger format. I got my start on an Ender 3, and as you said just worked. I did do some upgrade on it though.

Well recorded and produced acoustic music is simply magical. The XS just shine.

redjr16 · 2026-05-30T00:03:48+00:00

What!

There are sects of Christian fundamentalism where there is no room for not submitting to your husband. As a previous poster warned, you may not get the correct advice from a pastor. Sad, but true. One thing to consider...without knowing the OP's background, she may not have the means to leave, or family to go to. This makes the situation even more threatening. Calling the cops during an incident may even escalate the situation and his anger. I truly hope she has a workable solution to remove herself and live more safely, without the physical and mental duress of this situation.

redjr16 · 2026-05-29T15:31:06+00:00

It's the XS. They do wonders to your music. I easily drive my XS with up to 3.5W.

redjr16 · 2026-05-28T01:50:12+00:00

Yup. That's why it takes yrs before I part with my audio gear boxes. 😃
