Default Whats the DAP with the best Internal AMP / Sound without an external amplifier?

Hi

Was wondering what the consensus is for the best DAP (mp3 player) with the best internal AMP DAC and sound enhancement effects...


Im thinking this will be between Sony and Iaudio X5/ Cowon D2 / Meizu...

Has anyone tried them all?
