Introduction and specs

I’ve been looking for a DAP with your canonical “Korean” feature-set: Line-In recording with direct-encoding (into MP3), FM radio and, on top of that, an SD slot. I like the idea of having an expandable memory. However, many DAPs I saw and tested so far which have SD support are either very low profile players or some Chinese models which had one or the other shortcoming. Not so the Minox DMP-1: were others fail it does what you expect it to do and in good quality.

Features:

• Memory 512 MB, expandable with SD cards
  
• USB 2.0, 600 Kbps
  
• Playback MP3: 8 Kbps – 384 Kbps, VBR incl.WMA: 32 Kbps – 192 Kbps
  
• FM Radio, 30 memory slots
  
• Line-In
  
• Built-in microphone
  
• MP3 direct-encoding from FM or Line-In using 32, 128 or 192 Kbps
  
• Screen: 1.7” 65K Color STN, 160x128 pixels
  
• Battery: Built-In Lithium rechargeable with 9 h playback time
  
• Max Output: 2 x 4 mW
