I'm a new Quttro owner and am very much into the happy customer camp with it - although I don't have much else at this price point/level to compare it with so there could very well be an ignorance is bliss factor going on here too. I am currently running it with the Questyle M15 on high gain...

Second for J-River. An amazing company and an amazing product. The developers are very active/responsive in their forums and listen to user input.

Ah, OK - i guess i missed all of that. I agree about driving w/ IEM's. I did it once with my first pair - shure e3c - and i felt "blind" if that makes sense. Apologies shigzeo - I wasn't meaning to knock you there - just didn't read what you wrote in the right context.

shigzeo - you completely lost me there... Back to buying the M5s. According to Road Dogs site they are sold out on a national level (maybe we can blame headfi and this thread for this!). They are offering a $15 rebate for preorders though.

Thanks for your response. I currently have an older 4gig Creative Zen Touch and a pair of Shure e3c's. Needless to say, i'm pretty excited about the expectant sound upgrade of both the player and the iem's. The M5's are on order - should be here on the 9th I think, and I'm waiting for CES to...

Thanks for the input. I'll check out the vision M.

Thanks for the info on your headphone choses. Quote: creative zen vision m What is it about the zen vision m you like. Does it sound as good as the micro, better; as good ad the cowon players, better? Thanks

Will shure do a trade in on still functioning e3c's for some e34's?

Thanks for the input. LaBreaHead: what headphones are you currently using?

Have you looked at the Cowon A2 or the upcoming A3? I've read lots of really positive reviews with these players in regards to SQ. I myself am waiting to see what the A3 weighs in at when it comes out.

I'm looking to replace my Creative Zen Micro. I'd like more storage space - the 4 gigs just aren't enough and I'm hoping for 20GB +. I am really happy with the sound on this player and I'm using Shure E3c's (which I really like but I know a lot of listeners on here don't care for them - maybe...
