Ooops,
I guess I prematurely jumped into a thread that's a bit out of my league late at night or something. But now that I've actually read most of it, I'm curious about this quest for the ultimate iPod sound if it's for on-the-go listening in the car or out in the world, where a previous Audiogoner already pointed out, there's unavoidable ambient noise issues. In most cars and noisey environments, dynamic compression is a good thing. I don't know if it's possible to compress the dynamic range to spare storage space, but that would make sense in portable music player. I've enjoyed this thread and learned a few things, and I hope I didn't kill it with my previous off track response.
But it will be innovative companies like Psiberaudio that will offer solutions.
