Hi, I am looking to purchase some IEMs for my Ipod classic 80gb. I have a lot of Apple Lossless but also many 128kbps aac from the itunes music store. If I bought UE super.fi 5 or super.fi 5 pros would the 128kbps sound terrible? Also, would I need an amp?

Thank you.

Amp, no.
128kbps files, probably no problem.

Amp, no.
128 kbps files, they'll sound like dog doo being dropped from two stories up.

Those Apple AAC 128 files sound OK, I think. Adequate for most purposes. The DRM sucks, though, so I'm done buying music from the iTunes music store.

You won't see much support for 128kbps files on an audiophile site, which is understandable. I'm just trying not to be an audio snob.
