So the PP5003 might be a little better performance-wise.

You recall that even the Gigabeat is known to struggle with Monkey's right ?
--- Quote ---Oh yes, almost forgot... gotta see the firmware upgrade format on the Karma. I hope the Deities Above and Below are good to me and reveal that they're mi4-based!

Yes, I've read about that on the Monkey's Audio wiki page. But that's the fault of the author of the codec for making it so slow.

From what I've read the Karma's weak spot was the HD. You might take a look at the CF/HD adapter I used in my attempt to convert my Gigabeat F10 to use a CF card to replace the Karma's HD. (I'm investigating so random disk read errors with mine, probably the CF isn't as fast as the disk in the interface and might need something in the ATA logic to compensate. But this adapter was reported to work in ipods so the HW idea is probably sound).

The wiki page is up!

scharkalvin: The iriver H10 and the Dell DJ (which I haven't forgotten about! ;)) use the same hard drive. It's a Hitachi Travelstar Model HTC424020F7AT00 drive, 44-pin, horizontal orientation. So we would need to find a CF-to-IDE adapter that fits into the case, which is a wee little thing to begin with!

and then today you're thankful that someone in IRC pointed you in that direction... I'm offended!
