If I'm understanding your question...the H120 with external DAC and headphone amp will outperform any headphone out directly from any other DAP. This belief should be widely held here...
If you just want to use the headphone out to a headphone, then the H120 is an adequate choice, but not the best when compared to other players. The H120's strengths are a decent analog lineout, and a great optical out. Other players can best the h120 headphone out quality (ipod and x5 come to mind).
