Am after an MP3 player that is not Apple, has a big storage capacity, and sounds great. The Cowon X7 seems to fit the bill on all three. Correct or not ?

I'd also check out the Cowan S9.

Practically every review on the internet states the Cowan has superior audio quality. It is what they are renowned for. I'm looking at maybe getting their PMP, though I need to see how it compares to the new droids.
That's a fatuous comment - no point in posting if you've got nothing constructive to add!Can you point me in the direction of a professional review of a like for like comparison which supports the Cowon offering far superior audio quality than the latest Apple Touch which is the claim being made?Northutsire said:...and clearly a superior display/screen will make it sound better...

Unless you are deaf or you just like the look of ipod or you can't show non ipod mp3 player in front of your friends keep it!
If you appropriate the sound quality sell it back to more naive one than you and treat yourself with quality player such cowon.
This is based on my own experience , and I am proud owner of iaudio 7 which in fact is far superior than ipods .
Previously had ipod 3&4th gen ,both rubbish
The IPod touch may have great sound quality (my son has one and it sounds ok playing the rubbish he likes) but the op said "Am after an MP3 player that is not Apple, has a big storage capacity, and sounds great" . Since the touch does not have "big storage capacity" and is clearly an apple, it is irrelevant how good it sounds or indeed how marvellous the screen is since this does not seem to concern the op either. The X7 got 5* from What HiFi so is probably pretty goodgrdunn123 said:You'll need to explain that middle sentence....I don't agree - both the Ipod Touch and the Iphone 4 have excellent sound quality ( as long as you ditch the supplied earphones and use 'lossless' files).robolowski said:Message to ipod owners .

Then you must be a bit slowgrdunn123 said:If you read the whole post - I simply asked 'Why not Apple?' - Depends what you class as 'big storage' - Apple Ipod Touch 4th gen also got 5 stars....still not sure what your point is?
