would this still be pointless even with the highest possible bitrate for mp3s? I (obviously) know nothing about audio technology. I don't even understand how the sound from a portable cdplayer can differ from a regular one. is it the circuit board? the wires? the voltage? it's all too complicated. but yeah i'd agree that paying over 3000 euros for an ipod amp seems hilarious indeed. |

you can get replacement firmware for ipod which plays FLAC etc. |

although you can play aiff/wav and apple lossless on them, with un-modified firmware |

Why'd you put disto on an iPod? |

You'd be far better spending your money on a sonic impact t-amp and some half decent speakers imo. Oh and it'd cost about 1/20th of the price. |

What really winds me up is when people say, "There's no difference between the sound quality 320kbps VBR Mp3s and CDs" (J198- this isn't refering to you; you were only asking about that possibility, not stating it as fact). YES THERE BLOODY IS! What people actually mean is, to the undiscerning ear, listening through an ipod's headphone out port, to fairly low end headphones, there's not any difference. As soon as you start hooking it up to even mid range hi-fi gear the difference leaps out at you. My T-amp (£20, but sounds more like £800) can quite clearly give enough detail to show the difference in sound quality between two copies of the same of the same track, one on my gf's ipod as 320kbps and the other on my CD player. This is for all tracks (4'33 and similar excepted ;-P), let alone ones that are famous for being particularly affected in sound by mp3ing them. Don't get the wrong idea; I'm no audiophile snob. MP3s have their place and as a portable music solution, or just when at a computer, they're superb at what they do (even though .ogg etc. do it better). However, as soon as we're talking £4K hi-fi the idea becomes laughable. I suspect the reason people (with more money than sense) will buy these for their ipods isn't the sound quality, but more about aesthetics (how on earth could you connect your ipod to anything that isn't the same distinct shade of white?!) and bragging rights. Which, is precisely why in its niche market, it will do well. Ipods have always been about design, aesthetics and bragging rights, rather than sound quality or functional superiorty. |

A sort of like amplifier was in a TV guide about a year ago, I emailed them with the same argument and guess what... my email was printed in the following edition. I really like your Ferrari comparison. |
