Zune comes in at 7th for best Audio from a media player says Cnet
Below is the review from Donald Bell of Cnet. They came in at 7 of top audiophile players. That was the bottom of there list. Here is the reasons why.
Down, but not out…the Zune
There are only six slots in our CNET product comparisons, so I didn’t have room to fit the Microsoft Zune. The 80Gb Zune scored a -1.03dB on frequency response, and an excellent -84.99dB on SNR, but had relatively average scores on total harmonic distortion, grabbing a -59.25dB. Arguably, the Zune’s high capacity and support for WMA Lossless music playback might be more important to audio purists than a few dB of THD.

The Microsoft Zune nearly broke the top list, especially with its frequency response deviation average of -1.03.
