Yeah, Rio is now owned by Dennon-Marantz, who are high-quality audio guys. They really made the Karma the player for those who appreciate quality in audio, and you can tell. The earbuds are very nice, and it also has support for FLAC (for people who can't even bear a little loss of quality) and Ogg (for people who want high-quality compression). It also comes with a dock that has RCA out, so that you can hook it up to a home stereo. (The RCA cables it comes with have gold-plated connectors, too). It uses a database storage method, so you can access your MP3s by title, genre, artist, album, year, or other information. The only thing it really lacks is the drag-and-drop file transfer benefits of other players, but it's a music player after all, not a USB drive.
All in all, I have no clue why anyone would buy an iPod for more money than a Karma - I guess they're more stylish, or cooler, or something. But I'd rather have more functionality than more style.
