So my Samsung Galaxy(Captivate) got crushed as I was moving a table(The headphone jack is messed up and the top part is loose) and now I am looking for a replacement, the captivate had a Wolfson dac which I absolutely loved, I had a 32gb card in it and it did alright.
I know that both the 5.5 and the Zune have the same type of chip(Both Wolfson right?) but was wondering if one sounded better then the other and also if it would sound as good as my captivate? I heard the 5.5 has to be modded to sound good but am unsure of how serious that is really(Something about the electronics being shoddy idk really?), both the 5.5 with a 120gb hardrive and the Zune 120 go for about the same on Ebay used it seems so I am stuck between them.
Any clue on which is better? Should I just jump on the best deal price wise, I am pretty picky about sound and wish I could try them both out first but doesn't seem possible...
I use Sennheiser HD 25-II's mostly if that matters for my portable headphones, sometimes the Koss DJ100's.
