That is largely to to the basic alogrythm the iPod uses to rip.
The iPod doesn't rip. It is a player - mp3, aac, aiff etc. The player hardware is of very high quality - suitable for driving external amplifier and speakers.
Just to footnote that there is a review at Stereophile Magazine, complete with measurements and graphs and all, that concludes:-
" The iPod's measured behavior is better than many CD players—ironic, considering that most of the time it will be used to play MP3 and AAC files, which will not immediately benefit from such good performance. But if you're willing to trade off maximum playing time against the ability to play uncompressed AIFF or WAV files, the iPod will do an excellent job of decoding them. Excellent, cost-effective audio engineering from an unexpected source.—John Atkinson"
