wadia ipod dock-- anyone find faults?

Take a few minutes and record some wav files onto your ipod. Do an A / B / A comparison between them and your lossless and let us know if you get the same results that I did.

I did do this Kmelancon. When I first recieved my iPod, I read many comments online about it, and then tried it for myself. I did Apple Lossless, .wav and .aiff; I spent some time playing these over and over and over and I could not distinguish any difference between them. (Knowing more now, I do not I think I should.)

I take comfort in the fact that people smarter than I have also concluded the same. I cannot understand why you have different results.

Here are some comments I posted on another thread about why Apple Lossless is just that, "lossless", if I understand it correctly.

Kmelancon asked:

"Dave,
...

Have you tried the comparison between lossless and wav yourself?"

No, I only compared the original CD to lossless, using the iPod G160 as the transport and my Playback Designs MPS-5 as the DAC. For CD I used the Playback Designs. I couldn't distinguish between the original CD and the lossless files.

In your tests, did you use the same DAC? Which DAC did you use?

Dave

Chrissain, which DAC was the Wadia going through and which DAC was the CDP going through?

Thanks,

Dave

I paired the Wadia with the bel canto dac 3 and then compared it against the bel canto cd 2.
