Well, my iRiver does have optical digital out, and I have a soundcard with digital in that I know to be bit-for-bit accurate, so I can get that data.

If anyone is interested, I'll post some comparison wav files of iRiver's codec vs. the latest Winamp one, and you can help me avoid our old enemy, experimenter expectancy.

That would be interesting but I don't think it would answer the question with a high level of certainty. If Winamp actually sounds better it might be that it does additional processing somewhere and not that the MP3 player is cheating.

It might be an idea to use a few more decoders with different origins and see if some of them are identical.

I have no facts to present other than I really enjoy my ipod. For a good, solid, easy to use system, get an ipod. You can use it as a file storage device as well.

My favorite mp3 is my unportable computer. Expectially Winamp :)
