Great news! I can't wait for impressions. This takes the Westone 3's place as my most anticipated product. -CK

Does that mean you would need two cables, i.e. one for use with a portable amp (mini jack) and one for use with a home amp (rca jacks)?

And since the headphone jack isn't disabled, am I correct to assume that the new "iMod cable" is a LOD?

Seriously, though, I would kill to have a 5g imod, with the slimmer design, gapless playback through itunes (I'm not a rockboxer), and video playback. I just hope there's still enough refurbished 5g ipods around when I finally dig myself enough out of debt to buy a 5g imod.
I think you should feel very happy! The 4th Gen iMod iPod sounds fantastic and IMO gapless is not that big a loss. Nor is video, heck that screen is so small you will go blind in no time. So be happy and enjoy your iMod.

I'm very interested as well, but like someone says, the price is going to be a killer...

Unless it's sounds significantly better than the 4G, I'll hold out for awhile.

Red Wine claimed the 4G had the best DAC and was the most worthy of being modded. Was this just to help people justify shelling out hundreds of dollars on an outdated model? I'll be interested to see if they keep that as part of their sales pitch for the 5G. Note: yes it is a case of sour grapes: I just bought a 4G at the SF Meet!

Black Gate caps are bogus.

They just relabeled Rubycon's, and they don't have better specs than many other types of capacitors. Not to mention the don't readily publish the specs of each capacitor.

For many times with capacitance under 10uF, ceramics would most likely be superior.

One question, what type of DAC does the 5th Gen iPod's have? Are they superior to the 4th Gen's DAC?
