I currently own a Sansa Fuze and I do like its SQ but I wanted something with a little more storage space without resorting to using an SD card to expand the storage capacity of the player so I purchased a 16gb Zune HD and I'm not satisfied with SQ from the headphone out.
I have been seriously considering returning the Zune HD to purchase the Sony NWZX1051 after doing some research about Sony's MP3 players and I've read that it should sound much better than the Zune HD due to its S-Master digital amplifier and overall focus on SQ rather than features (although I can't see that it lacks any features).
I'm also not a big fan of the Zune Software, it works but its just a terrible interface.... I'd rather just have a way to drag and drop the files. Anyway I plan on using the headphone out to drive my IEMs (cheap Shure 110s) and maybe my Senn 280 Pros/Grado SR 60s (I'll be upgrading headphones at a later time).
I've basically narrowed my choices down to buying the Sony or settling with the Zune's SQ (and software) if the Sony won't sound any better.
Any recommendation will be helpful, thanks in advance!
