After much study of the Audiocircle and Headfi forums, I decided to send my eBay-purchased 4G 60gb iPod to Vinnie for an iMod. Hopefully Apple won't release the 6G iPods tomorrow with optical and digital out and 40 hr. battery life ...
I couldn't find a definitive answer in the forums as to the difference in sound quality between the modded 4G iPod lineout and the 5G lineout. So I guess I will find out the answer myself...
I trust Vinnie to do good mods, but a month after I ordered a modded Squeezebox 3, he came out with his mods to the Olive music servers, which he said sounded much better than the Squeezeboxes!
Is it Moore's Law or Murphy's Law at work here?
I have an SR-71 amp and a 1/8" to 1/8" mini cable ready...
Do you guys have any advice on portable headphones to match up with this combination? This is supposed to be a portable setup, so I'm not bringing my HD650s or AKG 1000s on the bus...Are there good-quality portable headphones I could use that would benefit from this source/amp combination? (I have Sennheiser px100s, but those were pooh-poohed in a different forum as not being worthy of an iMod/amp combination...I also have some UE superfi 5 pros...are those worthy?)
