Is an IPOD hi-fi?

Well that shows you how much I know about an IPOD!

Chadnliz,
That's about all I know about those things! When they come with a digital output i might buy one. I do a lot of travel, so it would be nice, but I can't bring myself to buying one. The digital output would seal the deal. It makes it a much more versatile thing.

At the recent CES in Las Vegas, I believe that it was MSB who were demonstrating a new product. It was a docking station sort of thing that came with a heavily modded iPod. The iPod was modded so that they were able to get a digital out. By all accounts, it was a very good performer. This reinforces the idea that iPods or similar devices can be high end sources if you can get the digital out and into a good DAC.

As I read this post, I cannot help but feel sad that Ferrari, and the likes, are becoming “a dying breed” of this hobby. It blows my mind to witness an iPod becoming a subject of discussion in an audiophile forum.

Ferrari, hung in there – some of us need you!

Planckscale, this forum is under Misc Audio. Once it gets to Digital or Amps/Preamps section, then be alarmed.

Keep your mind open as well, not only your ears.
