An iPod and a set of Grado's or something like that will go a loong wayI disagree, the Creative series of players has since the beginning catered to the audiophile market, with very good sound quality and S/NR
The one thing I do like about the ipod is the AAC encoding format of itunes. Much easier to get good quality at lower bitrates than ancient MP3
