At some time or other, I've listened to mp3s on these players:
-Creative Muvo N200
-the first iPod Video
-Nintendo Play yan
-Mpio FY800
Aside from the ipod, none of these players I consider "high end", and still none of these ever stood out when it came to SQ, except when I've plugged them into a large stereo. It was only there where the ipod convincingly outpowered all of the others--and I was actually relieved that it did, since it costs 3x more than the others. However, by just listening on earbuds, differences are so tiny I don't even bother to differentiate. That would probably drive me nuts!
The one exception though, was the Kenwood MGR-A7 that I bought last month. Though I haven't listened on the ipod in years, this player is by far the best mp3 player I have ever heard. And because I don't actively look out for the subtle differences in players, it's all the more remarkable that the sound quality could be so clearly ahead of the others.
