I also have an iPod Nano 8G and running lossless or AIFF files it sounds a little better than the CD players, however I have it running via the dock and a pair of audio transformers into the amp via a custom made cable, all of which make for a much better sound than std but still it lacks sparkle and definition at the high end and the bass is still pretty limp and indistinct....in isolation it sounds OK I guess but in comparison to LPs, well it doesn't get me excited.
I guess what I really need to know before spending up on the iMod is there a fair chance I can find happiness with it, would it do a good job with LPs converted to digital using 48Khz sampling AIFF?
One other thing I would like to do is integrate a direct input into my preamp, which is DIY and I have not yet finished the outer casework so integrating a 1/8 miniplug and receptacle into the upper case and straight into the circuitry should be fine, has anyone tried this? I assume that would remove another impediment to the sound.
i waxed poetic not too long ago about Imod's performance with my LP tracks, its f*ckin' crazy how they gel together. see vinnie's circle or search me...
What is the turnaround for an in-stock iMod to OZ?
I just wanted to say also that I really applaud your adherance to SLA power for amplification, as said my own system totally uses SLAs
