Depends on how one measures success or failure.

Which in turn depends on the criteria used to judge success or failure.

=A0If one is measuring success by the ability of the equipment to
create an aural illusion of live music the high end gear
wins hands down and the Sansa clip with the IEMs is the
abject failure.

What criteria is being used here - some reliable standard or something
completely subjective?

That is a false dichotomy. When measured carefully subjective opinion
can be quite reliable and consistant. In this case one can quite
reliably conclude that the sansa clip with the IEMs can't come close
to creating an aural illusion of live acoustic music played in a real
space.
