I'm looking for the best SQ in a portable player, which will be amped through a Hornet into AKG701s at home and as yet to be purchased IEM for cycling.

I do not care about movies, or anything other than SQ.

Suggestions?

Thanks…RC

You might want to look into an iMod 4Gen. iPod

They tend to show every week or two. Just keep an eye on the Source Components For Sale / Trade forum.

By the way. Welcome to Head-Fi!

Yes welcome to headfi... sorry about your wallet.

BTW, you have a lot of courage ... wearing your K701s outside of the house.

I haven't listened to the iMod but the Kenwood HD30GB9 is the best I've heard so far.

Stop, you're killin' me!

The 701s are for inside, I need some suggestions for IEMs for outside, let me know what you think of some of the available IEMs, as I haven't tried any!

The Etymotic ER4P is a very popular choice for a somewhat reasonable price.
