x19HD. small, light, 20+hrs battery life and it sounds good.

Are you trying to say:

Iriver + se215 = flat sound?
Galaxy s2 + se215 = full bass?

I'm pretty sure the s2 has got a weaker amp than the iriver. Did you EQ your s2?

If you want to keep the iriver, you can get an amp like .22 / .25 or RSA Predator.
otherwise, would recommend you the x19hd player, fun signature with big deep bass.

if you max all the settings in your iriver, i'd suggest that you just fix them all at 0. your player might be clipping like crazy.

your se215 is rated at 20ohms and your iriver output impedance is rated at 16 ohms. it doesn't matter.

Would recommend both the x19hd

x19hd supports english display among other languages.

Teclast x19HD

yep, the only one with the clip that i know of is the sansa clip.

Unfortunately, no expansion slot.

can i just say that this isn't a very good idea?

X19hd

No idea how the roocoo sounds but i think the sansa clip fits your requirements.

One more thing, ie8 has been replaced by ie80.

no idea about the sound & price, as i strongly preferred the Atrios over IE8, so did not bothered to audition the IE80. but since im going down to jaben tomorrow ... hmmm...

I prefer the t15 over the phonak iems, t15 fits my taste more.

I would pair the t15 with a more neutral dap like sanza clip, x19 and c30 might be a little too bass boosted, unless you find it lacking in that aspect.

the x19hd's signature is Fun with a capital F. don't expect neutrality with it. there are bugs now and then but nothing that a off and on won't solve. at least for me.

i use the x19 when i'm just traveling across town, short trips and stuff or when i just can't be bothered to bring my ipod + fostex stack.

the other times is then i hit the gym.

right now with the CLAS and Fostex HP-P1, there really isn't a need for the iMod already.

good enough is a very relative term. what is good enough for me might not be good enough for you.

my point is, the iMod basically pulls a direct line out from the DAP's DAC for use with amps, but right now there are already standalone DACs (with chips better than the wolfson) that you can use without the modding your idevice.

me personally i'd rather get the CLAS/Fostex than to mod the idevice. imod only works on the older gens and electronics don't really last the distance now.

The day Android supports USB audio out, will be the day I dump my iPod.

its just because sync via itunes is too much of a pain. if only the ipods are drag and drop.
