The AKM4420 DAC in the Touch should sound better than the decoding in your iPod...most reviewers are very positive about the Touch DAC.
That said, DAC sound is very subjective and many run an external DAC of their choice with the Touch (don't believe you have a choice w/iPod). If it were me, I would get the Touch for the task, just because it has so many other capabilities to offer, like ability to play HDTracks high res stuff at 96K. -- eeagle ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eeagle's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35088 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83212 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
