Oink is the best.
corrected. Also OP I would recommend waffles.fm.
Not to burst your bubble or anything but you shouldn't have wasted money on headphones. I always think your better off with a good 2 channel with a nice receiver/amp maybe sub.
Also what do you plan to listen to these flac files from? Because not many portable media players will just readily play flac.

Native FLAC, no; other lossless support file formats, yes.Originally Posted by Tv Controls you
As for the O.P.'s question, a good place to start is waffles.fm, but stick to their Waffle Iron uploads only, if you can.
I'm pretty sure it doesn't have a line out though.
nvm did a little search... It costs a little bit of money but:
The Cowon D2 does have a true un-amped line-out....but you need to buy the line-in cable converter and the line-in cable. That is the only way of getting a true un-amped line out.
So in this way you can connect to a external amp of your choice.

Wait a while if you can .. Cowon D2 is better than D2+ incase u r planning to buy it .. All the SQ Settings can be imported into D2 form D2+(kinda like importing d2+ rom into d2) ..
If you really want to listen to Flacs from Portable media player i would suggest some Chinese brands to fiddle with other than cowon .. Though a Amp+ Dac combo is very much required in addition to the player ... Try the uDac its getting rave reviews ..
if you are going to be a audio-elitist-prick you gotta be a proper one who only downlaods WI approved rips.
P.S.I am one of those, and I exclusively download WI-approved rips wherever possible.

heres a link where you can check the quality of rips by the EAC log.This gives a fair representation, mind you this is not related to WI, WI is still the best standards ever on any site, bar none.
this is a pretty OT post bt whatever,:p.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll have to check out the D2.
And actually, I think I'm going to look for a Cowon that only plays audio. I'll never watch video on a little tiny screen(I never do on my Zune), and the absence of video will cut costs.
You have an recommendations for a good audio only Cowon? I don't care if it can play FLAC, I"ll never listen to FLAC from a portable player. But I would like it if it allows all the other formats, especially OGG. Drag n Drop is a necessity too(the reason I'm ditching the Zune, I hate the computer software), and touch screen would be a plus. But definitely not a necessity.
Thanks.
