for portable cd players (pcdp) might I suggest the Sony D-NE330. This is a 2006 model released in the U.S. last month, so it might be hard to find at first, but check bestbuy and walmart. It has 15mW headphone output, which is stronger and louder than most pcdp headphone outputs so you get less distortion at higher volumes. It plays mp3s you burn on a data disc.
