Unfortunately, you'll probably find that the A-300 has all of the bugs that the C-200 still has plus a whole new set related to the NMJ interface, which is now the only interface.

I still have my A-300 boxed up. I pulled it out for the latest firmware upgrade and, afterward, still saw the same problems that originally drove me back to my C-200 so I put it back in the box.

I've been using these PH players since the A-100 and from that pretty good unit to the latest of the series, the complexity of the hardware has risen and the quality of the firmware has fallen. My A-300 will be my last Syabas product and the way things are currently, I will probably leave it in the box and not replace my C-200 with it. The C-200, even with the existing bugs, works better for me than the A-300 does.

Syabase can't seem to do firmware very well. They can barely do a slap-dash UI. If the Sigma SDK wasn't doing the heavy lifting, the Popcorn Hour series would have probably never seen the light of day.
