A very interesting experience......

The frequency response curves only tell half of the story(even less for DAPs)
Clip plus or a Fuze sounds much better than a ipod(except 5&5.5th gen classics)
The hp out of ipod is absolutely garbage.

Well...i am not an hardcore audiophile..... i am just a casual listener.....all i want is 'good' sound.You a may say that i am a bit particular than an average music listener.So very minute details and very little differences really does not make a difference to me(or you may say that i wont even be able to tell any such difference).But i also dont want to listen to muddy music.And now i have listened at least 10hrs of music...really i found very little difference and also the volume is a bit low.And this post is regarding the entry level Mp3 players.I am not comparing highends like ipod touch,classic,cowon j3....etc.
