Creative labs will probably have a step above all others because their mp3 players basically have audigy sound cards. Several of my friends have creative labs mp3 players and I have yet to hear one that sounds better.

I've heard the TX before, and I own an iAudio5 and I say it's no contest- the iAudio is much better.

The best sounding portable music players are made by Cowon. Depends on your prefered file format, of course, though. Cowon PMPs can work with all of them ranging from MP3 to FLAC to WAV. So, if you need a portable music player to fit your pocket, Cowons are the best in terms of SQ, strictly speaking. But, if you intend to listen to music mostly at home, just taking it from one room to another, consider buying a paltop and an external DAP.

One thing you have to consider when listening to Friend's zen micro is you have to compare an apple to an apple.

* Need to have the same headphones on each player to compare.

* Preferably the same audio file as well.

You can save songs in different formats / saved different quality levels / etc. A pair of headphones can make a world of difference in sound quality too.
