Really? Music is a huge part of my life, and I typically will listen to music (classical or jazz) when reading. Habit I picked up from many nights on board Naval Vessels. I've found the 505 to be a decent MP3 player. On par to my MP3's players (too many to list) aside from not having Eq or Bass management, the MP3 functionality, of the 505 is very good in my book (no pun
). Just for reference I typically listen with my Sennheiser HD 280-pros (decent headphones) without an amp. But If Im really feeling like listening to some tunes. I'll break out my Ibasso P2 (
www.ibasso.com) and my AKG K701's. This combo typically will reveal any shortcomings in any MP3 player, and while not CD/SACD/DVD-A quailty the MP3 player on the 505 is very good. IMO.
