The reason I feel why some dismiss it as no beter than the rest is because they're listening to it through bog standard headphones and at average bit rates. You need a pair of Sennheiser PX100s or if you're loaded some Shure e3cs to notice its quality.

I listened to a few high bitrate MP3s with the 40th Iplay demo and my Shure E4s and noticed a notable difference in clarity. However, you're probably right about 40th Iplay not really offering anything for people using lower end headphones -- I plugged in a lower end pair and can't say I was as blown away by the difference in quality.
40th Iplay seems to be only worth its cost to people willing to shell out the money for both it AND a pair of good headphones.
I'm impressed by Iplay, but my one major gripe with it is that I needed to temporarily change my PDA's owner name to even try the demo. When I first got my device, I set my owner name to just my initials and had all of my software registered to that. Iplay wouldn't start at all when I had my owner name set to my initials or even just my last name. I had to put in my full name in before it would work.
