This is harsh because, while $25 may not seem like much when you're dropping a few hundred dollars on a pricey DAP like an iPod video, it is when you're just buying a cheap little flash player for under a hundred. I hope that they adjust the tax appropriately. I wonder if it is based on the storage capacity of the player, or the features such as video playback. I hope that they do not do something like this in the US. I can see the starry, hopeful gleam in the eyes of the RIAA right now. Hopefully, I won't have to dust off my portable CD player or tape deck.
The X-Fi3 keeps with the company's commitment to audio fidelity, thanks to the apt-X codec, which supposedly offers audio quality similar to a wired connection when streaming. On that front, the device also handles FLAC files.
