Hi, 
 
I was wanting to ask if the audio player mattered if you've a really good / decent set of earphones to go along? (not considering FLAC files or lossless of course, more like MP3s, where its already been highly compressed and lossy)
 
More specifically would the sound from a COWON S9 + Klipsch S4 system be better  than an APPLE ITOUCH + Klipsch S4 system?
 
The reason I am asking is because sometimes its about power output also..While Cowon is rated 29mW against a 16ohm impedance earphone, the apple product would have an equivalent of about 60mW against the same 16ohm impedance earphone.
 
I was hoping to get some guidance on this matter..
 
Thanks,
