Sorry to hear about your VX878, I was hoping that it was a good player. I guess my next choice is a Hacha PA20, Any thoughts on that one?

Thanks,

I was considering the PA20 at one time also, but after it came out I became aware of several features that kept me away. First, the the headphone jack is a non-standard size of 2.5mm, which means that for 99.99% of headphones you will have to use an adaptor. Why they did that is beyond me. The second thing I noticed is that they mounted the headphone jack on the long side. This means it will be difficult to put it in your pocket with headphones plugged in. I can't imagine why they did that either. Another thing is that the transitions from screen to screen are ridiculously slow. I think I would find that very annoying. The final issue that kept me away from it is the price. It seems way overpriced for what you get.

Having evaluated all this information I concluded that the PA20 wasn't what I thought it was when I first saw it. I think it looks better than it really is.
