Really? It's a touch worse than my Zen Vision:M to me. I intially thought I had the volume too soft on the touch but after numerous trials my Zen's a little better; the upper mids are better defined and the bass has a little more impact.

I sold my Touch last week. I'm not missing it.

FWIW, my touch sounds at least as good as my 5.5G 80. The other features are just icing on the cake and make it a must-have for me.

Heheh. Honestly, if the sound quality was as good as a Cowon, the device would be the greatest DAP. The UI is great, the device is sexy, but alas, that doesn't leave an excuse for muddy bass and distortion.

The bass wasn't muddy to me, perhaps a little weak. Didn't get any distortion till I hit the EQ. Goodness that really sucked. EQ on the touch is just unusable. Luckily I don't have a habit of using it.

Wow that's really sad to hear.

I plan to buy one with my new cute beyond headphone amp. I currently have a regular 40 gb IPod that works great. Have you tried this with any headphone amps? Do you know if it makes a difference in the sound quality for the ITouch?

Maybe I should ask my GF to put this purchase on hold. For the cost, I expect the quality to be above par to the very least.

Heard a touch, it was not even close to my old iaudio U2 for sound quality, the gap was immediately audible on my im716. Very surprised some have found it to be acceptable.
