Default Best sound quality high-capacity MP3 player?

I lost my Creative Zen Touch 40 GB today which makes it a very sad day for me because I loved it. I just don't have any luck with this kind of stuff -- my two pairs of Sennheiser PX100 headphones both started only playing sound out of one ear, and they had the best sound quality of any portable headphones I've ever heard (I know this is controversial for me to say here -- but IMO including the Grado SR-80s without an amp). Any how the sound quality was awesome and it beats out any iPod by a lot. Well, I need a new MP3 player now with at least 40 GB of space in order to hold all of my music. Sound quality and space are the main priorities. I really don't care about any other attributes such as appearance and price. What do you recommend?

Try the Kenwood Media Keg if you don't mind the high price or the iMod with the portable V-cap dock and a portable amp.

Another vote for Kenwood Media Keg. You will be hard pressed to find a better SQ player in current market.

Try one of these Creative Zen 32GB or Apple iPod 5G/5.5G or Zune 80/120GB

all the above has got good sound quality (Creative Zen is still the better player than X-Fi version)
