It would be my first Amp/DAC, I'm considering it since it would work for my iPod as well as my laptop. Should I be looking into something else if I want to improve the SQ?

Single best thing you can do to improve sound quality is Rockbox your Classic.

My apologies, I should've looked around more and not asked here. Thank you though! That being said, here are the pics to my current setup (ones that I should have included earlier).

Hmmm

I've been reading through out most of this thread and I haven't seen anybody rocking a Samsung Galaxy Player. Are they that bad? The 4.2 and newer 5.0 versions supposedly have the Wolfson chip so...

Anyways, I'm looking forward to upgrade my current Clip Zip + E11 + Panasonic RP-HTX7 rig. These are my choices so far:

Headphones: M100 (want the best balance between over-ear / compact design / bass and sound quality / portability)

Amp: C&C BH

Amp: ZO2 (maybe)

Source: Sony NWZF806 32GB

Are there any other players (with wifi) in the $300-$350 range that can compete with the Sony in terms of sound quality, interface and design?

The 4.0 and 4.2 have the Wolfson, the 5.0 does not. If you're looking to upgrade from a Clip Zip, I can tell you from experience, owning both, that the Zip SQ is better than the 5.0.

time to present my little humble rig :

really enjoy by this set up. and really impressed by the yamaha EPH-100 ^_^

now... time to build a little desk /"transportable" audio rig... i'm looking on the Fiio e10 olympus, and Grado SR80i... :D

Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

I would use my nano 3G too, I love it, buuuuuuuuut I've switched completely to flac, which is quite unfortunate for my nano. And there is no rockbox either, nor expandable memory. So it doesn't quite work for me. But my clip+ fits the bill so it's all good. 

Never the less, I do agree with you that the 3G is the best nano.

Hi, this is my first post here but I've been an avid admirer for a little while now. How are you liking the Shure IEM's, because I was thinking of getting some myself? Was looking at the 315s.

Shure makes great IEMs. I'd take a look at Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10s, they used to retail at $400, after Logitech bought Ultimate Ears they dropped to around $150-$200 new on eBay, $200-$250 on Amazon.

Welcome to Head-Fi. Sorry about your wallet.

Yeah I will do actually. Thanks. Yeah, just this thread alone makes my credit card hide away in the corner.

Im not sure what dac it had, but my galaxy 3.6 player worked fine for about 2 months before it died. I sent it in for warranty and I finally got a refund yesterday after dealing with samsung support for over 3 months. Never again!

Welcome to Head-Fi. The Shure IEM's are nice, I had a cheaper pair of UE before but the wire broke, these were a nice upgrade from them. Mine are only 215.
