I vote Samsung,

Brand : Samsung
Model : YH-J70, YP-T10, YP-T5, YP-TZ, YP-U3
Your rate : 4/5
Headphone : Storm ZV500, Creative EP480, Panasonic HJ50, Sony MDR 888
Reason: My/ Your wisest choice player is Samsung, not only in Lowyat but also here in Malaysia. Affordable price, superb SQ, functionality, good firmware support. SQ and DSP fx share similarity with Iriver and Cowon player (which is GOOD)

Alternative brand: Creative Muvo
Suggested brand: PDA

Brand : iRiver
Model : E10 (6gb)
Headphone : Sennheiser IE4 / Audio Technica CK-7 (for sell please pm me )
Year : end 2006
Price : gift
Your rate : 5/5
Reason: very nice player with tv remote control, can kacau ppl, produces great sound, i dont intend to change my player as long i can still use it

I vote for Creative.

Brand : Creative
Model : Zen (8GB Flash Based)
Headphone : Comes with pack
Year : 2008 (January)
Price : RM729
Your rate : 4 Stars
Reason: Stable flash based MP3 player that could also play videos. Plus points are the sound quality, user friendly interface, and an additional expansion bay (SD card). An alternative to the popular Apple iPod Nano Video.

Exactly what I'm having and what I wanna say. Sony players really have good sound improving features.

The customizable equalizer is a nice feature. However, the "sound improving features" like VPT, DSEE and Clear Stereo are nice to play with but is not something I would use because I dun feel that they improve the sound rather the other way round.

I am using an apple ipod classic 80gb

So far so good

Brand :Apple
Model :Classic 80gb Black
Headphone : Westone UM2, with go-vibe petite, silver bendy and crossroads ipod dock
Year :2008
Price : -.-
Your rate : 5/5
Reason: Cannot complain much

That's my favourite, but yuheng sold to...
Brand : iriver
Model : H120
Headphone : MS2i, MS1, HD580, ksc-75 pcwork mod, X3i, XBi, IM716, etc etc...
Year : Dunno
Price : RM600 should be around that
Your rate : 5 star, I was going to give it 6 star
Reason: Optical out... What you want more? The SQ is superb even before optical out...

Secondly I would vote for
Apple, Ipod, with gmod.
Mine is a 4th gen, nothing special...
But the rating is as good as iriver...

Brand :Toshiba
Model :T401 4gb
Headphone : denon ch-551
Year :2008
Price :rm 400 after conversion
Your rate : 4 stars
Reason:easily the best sounding player at the moment(coming from a sony user. it made my A-608 sound really bad) and rivaling the cowons. www.anythingbutipod.com will swear by this too and even people at shure traded some of their se530s for a few units during the past CES. the only thing bad is the meagre 18 hour battery. limited formats (not so on audio, at least they have one losless format) but video support is crap. really cripples the use of the nice led screen. battery life alone cost the one star. other than that, it's perfect.

and oh, good luck finding one in malaysia. as far as i understand, it's only released in japan and u.s

i am looking for cheap ipod...

nobody vote ipod ? so sux meh ?

Model: Samsung
Model:k3
Headphone: still using the stock 1
Price;Rm 700+
Rate:4/5

Brand : Samsung
Model : P2 4gb
Headphone : Mylar XB
Year : Dec 2007
Price : RM 750
Your rate : 4.9/5

Brand : SONY
Model : S706f
Headphone : IM716/KSC75/NC022
Year : 2007
Price : RM500
Your rate : 4.5/5
Reason:

Cons :
~Sonic Stage sucks all the way
~cannot edit playlist within the player
~shuffling function not random enough

Pros :
~built in high quality amp (when i say high quality, i really mean it. Sony is the only brand that i tried that can drive the IM716 up to a decent volume without losing quality. Tried ipod/creative and it couldn't even drive it up to listening volume.)

~built in DSP, noise cancelling when paired with NC022, equalizer, bass boost without losing significant fidelity

~long battery life
