Anyone have experience with either 2 or 3 of these together?

I currently have the Sony and the Cowon. The Sony seems to play louder and have a slightly larger soundstage. They are both warm DAPs and I honestly can't really tell much of a difference between the sounds of the two besides that the Sony plays slightly louder at 50%. They are definitely very similar sounding DAPs and they both sound very good, not sure which one I want to keep at this point.

I am also eyeing one of those IRiver players. Anyone have any comparisons between the Sony and the Cowon and the IRiver? I have heard that the IRiver is one of the best sounding players, but not sure if its good enough to sacrifice the size and battery life.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

iRiver H120 is only better if you are using its optical out with a portable dac. otherwise its pretty average. its pretty damn old and the money you are forced to pay in general on ebay is obscene because of head-fi and the D10. using optical out to feed a portable AMP/DAC or DAC + AMP it should beat IMOD
