Zune HD or Zune 120 gig?

Hello.

Anyone out there have any opinion on the sound quality of these two Zune items?

I had the HD (gave it to my daughter) and was thinking about getting a larger HD, then thought that I might want to go for the 120 gig one, instead.

On purely sound quality alone without an amp, how do these differ, if at all?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers.

Wow.  That noticeable, huh? 

Why would putting it through an amp rid it of the sound, I wonder, since it's coming from the headphone out (unless someone's come up with a LOD for it).

Thanks for the info.

Cheers.

BTW, read up briefly on the ZO.  Sounds interesting.  However, I've learned over the last few years that my lifestyle does not allow for anything other than a nekked portable player. 

"sexy sounding"...bet you're listening to Carmen Cuesta Loeb.  Pure S-E-X-Y voice!  (Check her out.)

I do agree that the HD could be considered "sexy".

I had the 32HD that I gave my daughter.  I liked it quite a bit, and was seriously considering the 64HD one, but then thought, "Heck, why not just go for the 120 gig one?" 

The only thing I used the HD for was music downloaded from Zune Pass (which I hope Microsoft doesn't do away with) so was thinking the larger one would be just fine.  Not sure how the noise will do, though.

There's a person selling a used 120gig for 75 bucks.  So if he/she responds to my email, I'll probably just go with that.  If not, then quite possibly back to the HD.

Thanks, Audiopotamus, for your info.

macrocheesium, I'm not sure what the "J3" you refer to is (is it the latest/greatest from JHA?), but I'm just looking for the better sound between the two in the thread title.  I really enjoy the Zune Pass, which allows me to listen to music/genres that I normally wouldn't purchase.  The sound quality from it ranges from pretty good to merely adequate.  But, for portable use, I don't mind.

(edit:  Just saw that "J3" is a Cowan player.)

I certainly can't speak for anyone buy myself, but sound quality isn't the most important thing in a portable audio player for me.  Don't get me wrong, it's got to sound good, but I no longer have any desire for bulking things up in order to have slightly better sound. 

Of course, as with all things audio, YMMV.

Cheers.
