Hey everybody!

Sorry for posting here, i know it's not the corresponding category, but i couldn't see any other with a closer resemblance.

I am looking forward to buying a rockbox-able portable player. I currently have (or not, i have to search for them) SteelSeries Flux In-Ear headset which i love. I mostly listen to high bit rate mp3s and a few flacs, but i am looking forward to replacing all my mp3's with flacs.

I can get the players in the title for:
H340 - 40$
Fuze - 35$
Fuze+ - 48$
Clip Zip - 53$
Clip+ - 61$

I can also get an iPod video for roughly 45$, but I've had bad experiences with it. Sounded decent, but it broke extremely fast, it hung and it was sluggish (not a real problem tho)

As always, i am on a tight budget. I may be getting an amplifier later, but i am not sure.

Which one makes more sense to get? I've read that the h300 series has excellent sq, true or not?

saratoga:
Thats a pretty good price for an H340 (those are very rare these days) and rather expensive for the others. 

All of those devices will have similar output, except for the H340 which is a fair bit worse than most modern devices. 

brlmat:
Compared to an iPod Video, how's the sound quality of the h340? Is is at least as good? Also, does it have a true line out?

I have no opinion on sound quality, but yes, the h340 does have a separate true line out.

brlmat:
Thanks, that helps too !

Also, which one is more rugged? I will be taking it snowboarding, so not shattering is a strong argument. I suppose the h340 is the one after which i should be looking for.

Also, what about the fuze of fuze+ ? I know fuze+ is only partially supported by rockbox, but i think it's manageable. How is their sound quality? Especially, how's the sound compared to the ipod video or the h340?
