Can Anyone Rate Transcend MP330?

[reju]

Hi, I am looking to buy a portable media player, with following features:

1. Does not costs much (2-3K)
2. Good SQ.
3. As small as possible. (need to carry for morning walks alongwith mobile)
4. Display (to get some idea about the song sequence/ settings)
5. Plays FLAC audio format.
6. Has user equalizer setting.
7. 4-8GB flash.

What is NOT required:
1. Touch screen.
2. Large display which increases the player size.
3. High quality earphones (as I will be using my Shure in-ear headphones)

So far I could find only one product : Welcome to Transcend Website - MP330

Has anyone heard or reviewed this player? Has anyone come across any other similar product which I could consider?
Thanks!

Reju, at that budget I would also look at the Sansa Clip plus. I have not tried this particular player, but I have used Transcend t610 or something, and was disappointed.
Tacky build and avg sound quality. I dont know if this one is a big improvement, but I do know for your requirements the sansa clip plus will keep you very happy!

With excellent sound quality, ease of use/download and add on cards, there is still no player which can beat Sansa Clip Plus. And absolutely no compeititon at its price range.

I have 2 Clip Plus (8GB and 2GB). Check at Ebay.India. By using ICICI card, you could get 2GB version at Rs.1600.

Yes, Sansa Clip Plus seems good for me. The addon slot is a bonus!
Does it support MP3 higher than 128kbps?
I guess FLAC support will be upto 16 bit?

Any idea where I can buy it? Checked Ebay India, but at the moment only Sansa Clip seems to be available. Thanks.

I am using it for MP3@320 and Flac files.

There is a seller (and fellow audiophile) "pristinenote". I bought it from him a few days back. His stock got finished soon but you can check with him re new stock.

I have ordered from Amazon UK:

SanDisk Sansa Clip+ 8GB MP3 Player with Radio and Expandable MicroSD/SDHC Slot - Black GBP 37.07 (free shipping in UK). So it works to about INR 2600.00

Luckily my brother is travelling to London this week. So I should get it by 16 May.

Pristinenote on ebay.in was selling 4Gb for INR 3500.00
