Seriously, not to be crass (which I probably am), if you have to be convinced to buy a N2 80GB, especially at the price they are available now, you really don't need or want one.

I've had mine about 2 years (maybe more, time flies lately) and it's been perfect.  I've had no real problems and the two that I've had, support has been right on it and corrected it within a few days!

It's a precision instrument, not something to toss around (HD's don't like jiggles) but the sound reproduction and playback is AWESOME!

At the price it's currently going for (I paid almost double) you really can't go wrong for 80 GB!!!

Good luck on your decision!

Since the posting of this topic, I've been listening to my 80GBN2 through the night, doing subliminal tracks etc. and I've had NO difficulty.  It's played anywhere from 6 to 8 hours straight through and is as "fresh" in the AM as it was in the PM. []
I'm still waiting for a more solid release date for the N3.  I keep seeing dates bouncing around of 3rd quarter then 4th quarter of 2006, now 1st quarter of 2007.  What are the problems and is there anything "we" the users can do to assist??


Rev. Ronald G.

I'll check it out and give you steps when I get home tonight.

I haven't had to do it for a while now, but I haven't ripped any new music.

Have you added a lot of music to your N2 recently?  I find that I have to basically, clean it our and reupload my music to keep it playing smoothly.  It's kind of like "defragging" the HD. []
You might want to try that.  It's worked for me.

And I am sure you had to know what our responce would be [)] While I cant give out numbers, we expect to be sold out of N2s within the next few months. As an aside, we will continue to offer support for all versions of the Neuros DAC.

Ha, I know.[:I]
My gut level feeling based on all the discussions on the other lists re: dev boards for 424 V2 and R3, I'd say the N3 might be looking at a Beta version sometime 3rd or 4th quarter of 2006.  Could be perfect placement for Christmas 2006! or "back to school" with the New N3!  Students always want their music with them!

At this time we do not know specifics on the size of the N3, but we will not be making any larger compacity N2 units. Once we are sold out of the 80GB the N3 will be the next MP3 player we make.

You all KNOW I would say something to this... right???
How many 80GB's are left??? (wishing for the N3 sooner than later)[]

Rev. Ronald G.

To be honest; if you're not in a hurry, wait for the N3, if you are in a hurry and want a GREAT machine with awesome sound, then the N2 is the one.  I have an 80 GB N2 and love it.  True the size can be daunting at times, but the machine itself offsets all of that for me persoanlly.

I have an iAUDIO M3 and enjoy it, but it's library and playback limitations make it no better than the iPod Shuffle to me.  Now I admit, I don't know all the ins and outs of the iAUDIO yet, so I can't really give complete feedback for it, but the N2 is a very nice piece of equipment and delivers wonderful sound.  Regarding the problems you've read about on the forums, I can only state that I've had mine 2 years, play it about 20 to 30 hours a week, day/night and had only one problem with it when I first got it.  The "computer" died and had to be replaced and took about a week turnaround time.  Other than that, it's been reliable and delivers many hours of much appreciated service.

Just my two cents!  []
