Friday I just got my iaudio m3 40 gb. The sound is very good, but you need to play through the remote. My remote came w/ a loose wire. If I plug directly into the unit, it sounds very good. It sounds bad through the remote. With all mp3 players, I think the amps are pretty weak. It breaks up at higher volumes. It sounds much better to play a few notches (or more) below max. In comparision, my portable cd player has a stronger amp.
For the m3, you can play it through the line out, but you need to use the supplied connector (& avoiding the remote). I ordered the group buy Porta Corda amp, but its not here yet. So I can't say how it sounds. When the amp comes, I will post again. The remote from the player needs to be replaced. I may have to return the whole unit.
I don't have great phones yet either. I am playing them through px200's. After the amp comes, I will get new phones.
I am leaning towards SR-80's or MS-1's. Any other suggestions?
