Hi all, my interest in audio was awoken only recently after being bedridden for a while and realizing all my music sounded "sucky" through the earphones I had. I have begun rectifying that by recently purchasing a pair of JVC FXT-90s.
 
But with that comes the issue, which source? My dilemma lies between my two hard disk based players, a 30GB Ipod 5G running Rockbox and a Zune 120GB. It was mentioned that the Zune sounds great with a Zo. My choices are to either sell off my Zune and use the money to upgrade the Ipod with a 120GB drive, or purchase a Zo v2.
 
My reason is that SQ wise, the Zune lacks that 5% more bass I'm looking for, and the Rockbox EQ allows me to tweak things to my liking without compromising mids and highs. HOWEVER, if the Zo can do this for me, I am all for keeping my Zune.
 
Which path would be most recommended, based purely on SQ?
 
P.S. I'm trying my best to keep this from becoming another expensive hobby, seeing as how one already landed me in bed for 6 weeks :P

Fell better bro!!!  Just get the Digizoid ZO V2 w/your Z 120 and ENJOY!!! The SQ boost the DZO2 gives will be quite sufficient to make you're bed time pass by more enjoyably.

I hope the docs gave you something to feel more comfortable in the next few weeks.

 

Been there before, music becomes a life saver. Good luck!

Cycling accident. I've recovered now though so it's all good.

It was in fact your post that steered me towards the Zo, but your profile says that you have sold your Zunes. Is it because they were getting less use with the accumulation of other devices, or something else?

I sold the Zunes because my ADD has me always searching for the next best gadget. TBH I'd have never sold my Z 120 if I'd had a D:ZO. The SQ is good on it's own, but with a D:ZO it'll be FANTASTIC!!!
