The touch is such a great player. I tend to not mention it here because it really has become more of my PDA (rather than any kind of critical listening device) , but since it is always with me I listen to it all the time while waiting. I think it sounds great, have said that from the beginning. UI is brilliant and this thing is gonna take off in May.

the touch is even nicer when jail broken. Save for capacity and that headphone jack I like the iphone better the the touch.

Im confused! I think amps amplify volume, add clarity and change the sound depending on the amp you pick.

So it is invisible/totally transparent as the Triple Fi are considered to be the perfect sound?

Whats the point then, other to amplify the volume?

Surley if it is transparent, surley it isnt if it improves clarity?

I do not need an amp for volume. I need an amp to better control the sound profile across the frequency range and to provide a signal that has minimum distortion. When I say the Xin Reference has a tuby sound vs. the detailed precise sound of the iQube this is a preference in the type of distortion being provided by the amp such as higher level of 2th harmonic vs 3th, or a minimum of either. The iPod amp is very weak but can move adequate air for simply making a noise. For some this may very well be all they want and need in making their music.

Some systems sound better with a bit of 2nd harmonic; i.e., my Yamamoto HA-02 is a bit warm for the Triple.Fi but great with both my Ultrasone headphones. The amps damping factor and output impedance determines the fall-off of the extreme frequencies and helps in the drivers control of attack and decay over the complete audio sound range. Out of the iPod, it's amp drops the lowest notes whereas with both the Reference and the iQube the attack and decay is very well control with the right headphone and is very pleasing and not simply loud. This is shown the web site called Careless Headphones: ‘ešƒwƒbƒhƒzƒ“. You may need to use a translator to get a better feel of what is being said but the images of the play-back studies of various amps and sources is interesting.

So it is invisible/totally transparent as the Triple Fi are considered to be the perfect sound?

Does anything have the perfect sound and what is the perfect sound? It may very well be my preference in what music sounds like but your preference may be some entirely different.

Whats the point then, other to amplify the volume?

Re-read my first note above.

Surley if it is transparent, surley it isnt if it improves clarity?

why's it going to get better in may? and what is jailbroken? Also if you're talking about the sdk thingy, I didn't understand that, what exactly does that do for the touch?

Thanks Slwiser.

I understand fully now

Sorry for the "noob" question.

Nice and clean rig. I assume that's a Headsix below the D2?

Yes, it's a Headsix. (The matching colors are a coincidence. )
