Mobile audio MP3/iPod/RioRiot, etc.

OK, maybe this is retreading ground (I couldn't find any relevant threads), maybe its not apropos for a high end forum, etc. etc. BUT, the convenience factor of some of the new hard disk based MP3 players is pretty hard to beat. 500 CDs in a small box that has 10-12 hrs of battery life that I can carry on an airplane? That gets my attention.

Here's the questions. All the stuff I see about these never discusses the audio quality of these puppies. Anyone care to comment on who has better audio quality? Anyone use these things? Any way of getting better audio quality out of them?

I have the MP3 Jukebox 100. It's great. I use 192kbits/second as the compression rate. The standard is 128. Some of the better recordings I go up to 256. I use this with the "airhead" amp and etyomatic headphones. For travel, the convenience and quality is tough to beat. I have found this player to actually sound better than most portable CD players. It does have a lousy amp section though--you need to get one of headroom's amps to go with this.
