Other recomended options are the older iRiver Players (i can't remember
wether you need Rockbox installed to make uncompressed recordings) and the
Trekstor Vibez which can do 16bit/48kHz uncompressed recordings...
All three players should give very decent results when hooked up to an
external preamp and Mic.

An audiophile friend of mine has an iAudio LX5 or XL5 (something like
that, I forget the last part of the model). It has a very very clean
stereo line-in connection, and can record audio as FLAC or WAV. He's
been using it to digitize his collection of vinyl albums. Tonight we
listened to the digitized version of a performance of Handel's concerti
grossi (the vinyl is over 40 years old). The digitized sound quality was
marvelous.
It works beautifully with Linux - just plug in the USB cable and his
Linux systems see the 30GB hard drive with no problems.
