Will check out the site. Should have stated that all MP3s are are 320k. Did tests with WAV files and even with expensive headphones could not hear a difference with iPod output. I also have some quite good sets of headphones, both IEM and circumaural. The issue is really the iPod amp quality. -- ncarver ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ncarver's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15905 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83067 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
