The Senns appear to be the number one favourite, but I must admit the Phiaton recommendation is an interesting one, @Gilly87.

best player to use with AKG 518 LE
I'd say +$250. I was interested to see your suggestion to Rockbox the Clip, which is what I am using now. How would this change things?- j0burger

I'm looking for something that will take the "boom" off... currently using a 2GB Clip classic. I listen to a lot of indie, jazz and classical. My EQ is set to the "Jazz" level and I have the latest firmware on the Clip Thanks Russ- j0burger
