The best QUALITY portable music player . . .

as the title suggests - with all the anti-ipod'ery here on OC I thought it might be interesting to see if people can be positive about their fav product . . .

Player Name
Why they think its best
Pro's & Con's etc

I am talking best quality music rather than label-slave etc etc

ok - I have an iPod 8Gb and a 500Mb iRiver iFP-195TC and I have to say that the quality of sound (with EXACTLY the same tracks) on the iRiver is far superior with the same (Shure se530) headphones - so I am thinking that I might not bother with another iPod and have my eye on a Cowan iAudio 7 (16Gb) or an iRiver player.

I only want the very best sound quality!!!

Suggestions please?

Well after a lot of listening and research . . .

I have just ordered an iAudio 7 - 16Gb player from the USA - saving about £100 on UK prices - hope I made the right decision!!!

The more I listen to my iPod vs my iRiver the more I think that the iPod is just not up to the job.

Did think about the Clix 2 and the D2 - but decided on the iAudio instead - its only MP3's that interest me - not video!

Thanks for all the input - will update this thread once the iAudio is up and running!!!!
