iRiver more than likely sounds much better than the ipod,
that is if you are comparing the newest generations.

I even sold my iPod and bought a Cowon D2 because the sound
on the iPod was very weak, tinny and lifeless. The Cowon
sound quality is amazing, iRiver comes just behind, I used
to have the clix 2.

The iPod has been using cheaper sound chips for a few years
now, so ironically the first few generations of iPods are
the best sounding.

Sony Walkman; it's different each time. And cheaper.

Even the Zune sounds better than any version of the iPod.

The sound on my fucking phone is better than the sound on an
iPod.

That Cowon D2 looks pretty awesome. I've been without an mp3
player for a while, now. Might have to keep on eye on those.

cunty: i heard it doesn't

pantalaimon: does Nano 3G still count as "the first few
generations" ?

Indeksical: if it's sony ericsson then i disagree

goDel: interesting read, thx.

Neither.

I'm a Cowon fan. Best audio quality, best value, and best
selection of lossless and lossy encoders (MP3, OGG, FLAC,
WMA, APE).

the cowon is indeed awesome, you can even slot in an sd card
to expand memory!

Nice, I like that feature. SD cards are really cheap now!
and you can get as many as you like to basically give the
thing unlimited storage... also I like the large screen and
the stylus kickstand thing. :)
