I've hit the point where I need to change my portable source music player wise due to a combination of running out of space/mp3 player more or less dying full stop.
Sooo, I'm stuck trying to decided whether to go for an older Creative Zen Vision:M 60gb stand alone as my 30gb one could drive my headphones very nicely without extra amplification, orrrr, take the more expensive route and get an iPod Classic 80-120gb etc etc and bypass the crappy sound engine into an affordable amp like a FiiO E11.
The Creative Zen option is only about £55 for the player, plus I can always add an inexpensive amp for very little. The iPod option would be a bare minimum of about £150+ with the amp, but has the advantage of being smaller than the Zen and having as much as double space etc... I'm still unsure of which to go for, but I do personally prefer Creative sound straight out of the player.
Opinions please thanks
