So which one is the very best sounding you've heard so far?

The iPod shuffle.

iAudio U3
30mw+30mw~~

This is pretty much a popularity contest. I expect one of the ipods to win this poll simply because they're so popular.

30mw per channel ? wow perhaps thats too much. My Iriver T10 is rated 15mw per channel and I never go past 30 with maximum being 40.

the Samsung yp u2j

Zen Nano sounds similar to ipod suffle and has way better features.

Biggie.

Let's see. I've tried the iaudio g3, iaudio 5, iaudio u3, Creative muvo slim, ifp-195t, iriver ifp-799t, samsung yp-u1, and the ipod shuffle, and I choose the shuffle for best sound because it's the only flash player I've heard that sounds like a full size DAP.

I'd have to go with the Shuffle as well but the only other flash drive I've owned was a Creative Muvo and I wasn't particularly impressed.

Ipod shuffle. Best SQ ever.

I like the shuffle very much .

I consider my dad's U2 to be the best sounding unamped DAP I ever heard of.
For an average user, iaudio's SQ comes as a genuine surprise. It beats my 4G ipod and my sister's nano by such a margin its really not funny. I believe my next dap could be an iaudio when they come up with an X5 replacement. I wasn't very impressed by my roommate's shuffle, but I think that is due to that fact that it was hooked up with ipod earphones and low bitrate mp3s.

I maintain my opinion that ipods remain the best DAPs to amplify.

P.S. I think ipods have such an advantage when it comes to polls. iPods dominate especially in the states where 90% of all daps are ipods!! I wouldn't be too surprised to see the shuffle win by a massive margin.

Edit: I have not heard any of these but may be buying one soon.

Thanks all for your comments.

The shuffle is romping it in!

I must admit I thought it would get a little more competition from the iAudio players. I have noticed that nobody so far has come out and said they like the Shuffle's sound better than the iAudio players after hearing both...
