I'm lookin at gettin a good quality set of  IEMs for use with my iphone 3gs and needed some advice. 
basically new to the whole audio world, and i appreciate any advice. 
on the recommendations of head-fi'ers, I recently got myself some denon d2000s and they are perfect for my listening tastes; lovin them. 
 
I got the majority of my library up to flac or 320s but would it be a waste to plug the MTP into an iphone?  could the iphone drive 'em properly?  are iem's really that hard to drive?  if the iphones no good, what would be a good portable?
 
(again, see line 2)
 
Thanks for any advice

The iPhone should be fine in driving them. Some IEMs like the ER-4S / RE0 are harder to drive, but I think the MTP-G should sound fine straight out of the headphone out.
 
If you want to look for a good portable, have a look at the Cowon J3 / S9 or the Nationite S:flo2.

cool, thanks for the reply.  appreciate it.  I'll def be checkin out those portables you mentioned.
that J3 looks to be pretty sweet, I've been readin up on it the last 2 days.  I'd like to keep jus the iphone n a good set of iem, but dont really want to invest in a good set if the iphone will only bring out half of what they are actually capable of.
