10.1 or 10.2? Has anyone listened to both-and is any difference worth the added $100?

Even though I haven't listened to both, I thought I'd reply anyway. I combed thru the net for reviews on both. There are many for the 10.1 and only a couple for the 10.2. None compared the two. Obviously, 10.2 will produce more bass, but I was afraid that larger woofer wouldn't handle the upper midrange as well. No review discussed that, so it's my own supposition. I bought the 10.1, and the bass is very solid and goes lower than I anticipated. Very happy with it. Hope this helps at least a little bit.

The 6.1.6. I've heard too many problems about the latest updates. Also I had to delete the cloud every year because it block my music from downloading that I don't buy from iTunes.

I am not sure. 10.8 was released well after my purchase of this device. That being said I don't recommend this item at all.

A software release version 1.1.2 came out last year, I believe. I updated to it earlier this year and it is a lot more stable.

Yes, the current 1.1 upgrade is free for 1.0 users. Hope it remains free though :) But I can imagine they want you to pay after they ported all the nifty features from VMware Workstation.

Yes this works fine with 10.1 model. Easy set up and lock in combo with Blue tooth is a little tricky but once you get the right steps it is easy the 2nd time.

First, size. The 1.2 is huge! And the reason is also the second thing, optics. Unless you have a huge need, budget or ego, don't go 1.2. The 1.4 is amazing but the price may make you feel insecure, like it's not "good enough".

The 6 is excellent...so is the 10. I've heard both as well. I think the real magic is happening in the bass module. I think it's the same for both the 6 and 10. If money is not a factor I would let the size of your entertainment space dictate your choice. You won't regret either choice.

I am never owned the 2.0 but I known those who have, and they all preferred mine, which was the 1.0. Hope this helps.

If I were buying, I'd go for the EM10 for $100 more. While the 5 is great, the 10's improvements are worth the money.

Good website. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge. I will probably go with the first one an get the software if needed. good advice. The new one looks pretty, gut I don't spend money if there isn't enough upgrade to justify the added espense.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 is cheaper and WAY better. You also have the 64GB Micro SD card port. You don't need to get ripped off with iTunes. I put 2000+ songs and 80 full length movies on the 64GB card. I didn't pay a dime for my songs or movies. I downloaded everything from the net using torrent. Anyone that pays for music or movies is getting ripped off. Throw away your Apple stuff. Android is taking over. Apple should be called Crapple.... Oh, Android has better apps as well.....

I finally went Apple TV instead.. found great deals in their refurb selection. Does all the internet radio stuff (albeit fewer stations, but it's got my faves.. npr, WMVY, etc), as well as stream my iTunes library, music, podcasts, tv shows, movies... works with air tunes & remote speakers.. basically more features for cheaper price.

Apart from the Mike difference as told by many reviewers, the 10-10 seems to be using the Bluetooth 2.1 version and the 10-11 seems to be using the Bluetooth 3.0 verison

If you value the sound quality over the functionality the answer is yes, but the differences are subtle sound refinements. The V1.2 has sound subtleties or refinements that puts the Dragonfly on par with the competition like HRT Microstreamer, witch is said to posses the smoother sound and also the most detailed, but that it is also slower and a bit less exiting. The V1.0 has a sound that has been qualified as a bit harsh. It has "attack", its fast and this is good for rock or jazz but produces more fatigue on longer sessions. The V1.2 is smoother and this can be heard with the ATM50.

The new version is the 5800ES. 2 more channels of amplification -- 7.2 vs 9.2. A few other changes, too.

Yeah, those seem to be the major differences. The non-user-replaceable battery on the new View sucks though...that was one nice feature about the e200 series (as oposed to iPods) and seemed to make complete sense. I have had to use firmware update on my V1 e260 to recover from a crash and it was pretty seamless and I lost no data. V2, I believe, does not support the "recovery mode" firmware update. I have no idea what the parameters of the View are regarding this. Maybe it just never crashes! (not likely...) Other thing is the better stats on the microSD expansion slot...now up to 8 gigs (wow!) and using microSCHC. That's 16 gigs total without a hard-drive. Awesome! I have found, after some initial frustration and confusion with the expansion slot on my e260, that I just never put it in MSC (Mass Storage Class) mode and ALWAYS use it in MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) mode. I found moving files with Windows Explorer pretty glitchy in MSC mode. (Windows iExplorer would freeze up or get very strange-acting) Now, I just pull the microSD card, stick in into card reader on my computer (with the full-SD-size adapter) and add files like it was a pen drive. Perfect for podcasts which you switch in and out frequently and perfect for loading stuff for a trip. You could have a second card for you wife's/gf's music or podcasts as well and just swap it out without a Windows session. It DOES mean a much longer boot-up (really "refresh data" after the initial normal bootup...) but I think it's worth it for the flexibility of adding and deleting files so easily. You can always just remove the microSD and not deal with the "refresh-data" wait if you get sick of it. 8 gb of microSD would be nice though! Also, I'd like to hear some objective feedback regarding the sound quality of normal audio with the View as compared to the e280. Is is MUCH better? The e280 has become so inexpensive I may just go for that and wait out the View for another year or two.
