So I have a nice pair of Westone UM2.
And a pretty good Headphonia amp (my first one, sounds great, but there is some hiss with UM2).

So I need a DAP with 8GB or more space.
The main concern is sound quality.
My choices so far:
1) Trekstor vibez 12Gb. 250$ (Is told to be among the best on headphone out quality)
2) Micorosoft Zune 30Gb. 250$ (Also good SQ)
3) Ipod with lineout dock-cable. about 300$??

Maybe something else?
Two questions so far: What is better Vibez or Zune?
Will Ipod with lineout cable sound better then Zune/Vibez?

thanks!

Iaudio X5 is a good choice too.

Cowon D2 is a good choice right now.

If you wait, more DAP's look like they will come out with expansion memory slots.

I am also hearing rave reviews about sound quality of a minidisk player Sony MZ-RH1. It is thought to have a dedicated lineout with a very good quality. Is it a good choice?
