    That's what I mean. The wadia doc uses its own dac and bypasses the one in the iPod. That with AIFF or WAV files would be nice.

    That's the main differences I see (and hear that makes it sound like ...well you know).
    Depending on your ipod, the internal DAC might not be all that bad. Plus, even with an external DAC you can either pull a 96K mp3 or an Apple Lossless track, no prizes for guessing which might sound better.

    And a person can put uncompressed music on an iPod touch for example, which has a solid state drive. And then put it on a Wadia iPod doc and enjoy music with no moving parts. Just because its an iPod doesn't mean it inherently sounds like sh*t. People choose the formats they want.

    Articles like this need to be a little more careful lambasting iPods and digital downloads, when what they're really talking about is how lossy formats are, well, lossy. When I was a teen, I copied friends tapes, or taped their LP's... the same as copying a hard drive full of MP3's today... and if I liked it, I saved up for the LP. Things haven't really changed, just the convenience. I love vinyl too, but it probably got there digitally.

    We sooooo need to get in touch with him..... just to play with his stuff!!!!!

    And to show him... that even with all that... our systems are NOT far behind. ha ha ha. And in some ways we know more!

    Maybe we should invite him to an audio group meeting. I mean we ARE the only audiophiles in Pittsburgh!
