APL 3910, Exemplar 3910, MF KW, Esoteric X-01?
Goose, It really depends on your budget, personally, I have owned all them, and feel the APL is the best, but, with that said, I am still having Dan make me a player. Not the 999, but a copy of Jayctoys DVP9000ES, with volume control, and 6 volt g...

Tbg, Jayctoys 9000 is a very different sound than any Modwright you or I have ever heard. Dan is now working on remaking that exact machine. Bon's is one of a kind for now. I am waiting on Dan to build me one too. OTOH, I totally agree with rfogel... 
Headphones for iPod.
I had the shure E2C's, I thought they were ok, I was gonna try the Etymotic, but, ecost is running a special on the E4C's for 139, I bought those and WOW, big difference in sound quality. A great deal too.Smilin

APL 3910, Exemplar 3910, MF KW, Esoteric X-01?
My favorite player so far is the APL3910, but, thats out of your price range, so IMHO get a Modwright sony999, or 9000, or a Exemplar 2900. You will be amazed!!!!
