Hello head-fi,
Long time no see.
Due to a series of misfortunes, I now need a new portable setup. My vibes broke (again) last week and I've now decided to go with the Westone UM1's to replace them, but I also inadvertently stepped on my iPod nano and I now need a new player for on-the-go musical goodness.
So, let's cut to the chase: what should I get that would match up well with these 'phones? I'm considering those refurb Samsung P2's that big-fi has up for sale here, but the Cowon D2 is also tempting. Of course, I'm open to suggestions. Price-wise, I'd like to keep it under 200, and I'm pretty sure I'll be running whatever I end up getting unamped.
If it helps, I listen to metal, jazz, big band, classical, classic rock and Radiohead (I never know how to classify them).
Thanks in advance!
