Hi to all the members of this forum.I would like to know your opinion about wich DAP is better.
Right know I have an Ipod Classic 120 gb 6th Generation with my favorite music with Apple Looseless, but I want to know if this ipod with a fiio e7 and a LOD would beat a Cowon J3  in sound quality but in this case I will have to compress my Looseless music to 320 kbps MP3. I will use an ATH-a700 closed back headphone and the HifiMan RE0 IEM. I care about good treble and nice soundstage
Thank you for your help!!!!!!!!!!

Ditch Apple, get Cowon.  Message ends.

Is that just apple bashing, or does it genuinely sound better?

Between the 2 choices the Cowon J3 has the better EQ and sound enhancements. If your not an EQ user the touch is fantastic, as it's a very clean sounding player. Also, the presets in the iOS 4 software sound very good now, and the distortion is gone. It's not as good as a custom EQ, but it's still very pleasant sounding.
 
Me, I prefer the Cowon J3 because I like to tweak the sound depending on my HP's - custom EQ for me. Both are fantastic in their own rights,....IMO, YMMV.
