If you, like me, prefer a solid audio player to an under-performer with a fancy interface, you will love the latest DAP from [Panasonic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eaha800) SV-SD870N. The D-Snap player features 83% noise cancellation with over *100 hours* of continuous play!

The player supports direct recording on its internal SD card, if plugged into any Panasonic D-Dock device. It comes with a 2GB SD card, and accepts up to 16GB. Supported audio codecs are AAC, WMA and MP3, and our DAP has a size of 35x90x11.4mm at 40g only.

It is set to arrive April 18 in red, black, silver, blue or white. I need this one.

Look how far the D-Snap players have come since March 2006:
