Has anyone done any direct comparing between a Sony X series (through the headphone out, unamped) vs. an amped iPod with IEMs (preferably the JH-13 Pros).

Also, is there any easy way to sync an iTunes library with the Sony player?

I use a program called Salling Media Sync, which is fantastic but costs a little.

I have directly compared a Sony X and iPod 5.5g with the JH13 but not with an amp. The JH13 sounds very good with the Sony player though I wish there was less background noise. The hiss is about the same with both players. The right amp on the iPod could improve this.

i own a sony x1051, and i have to say it sounds MUCH better than an ipod. not sure with an amp though. I switched from using an ipod nano straight to a sony, and im never going back. And yes, you can sync to a sony player using itunes through a program called content transfer, which is a software included in the box. go for the sony, i highly recommend it!
