Imod 4th gen vs newest Zune 120

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 

What's the audio quality like between these 2? I saw a Zune at the store and it had a really nice interface a much nicer screen and had many more features. It's also 20GB larger then my Imod. I have read that the line out doesn't work on the Zune easily but I also read that it's not neccesary because the headphone output is really good on them. Basically how much of a difference in sound quality between these 2? If it's not that big my Imod will be goin up for sale cause the Zune looks so much cooler.

no comments? Somebody has to know what is a higher quality source. Is the Imod 4th gen significantly better quality source then the latest gen Zune 120. If it's only marginally better I'm gonna go with a Zune cause the screen just pwns and it has way more features.

I thought the whole idea of the 4th Generation iMod (I'm assuming you're talking about one of Vinni's RWA products) was to by-pass the internal amplification system in the 4th generation 60gb iPod to get a pure line out from the Wolfson DACs and, therefore, requiring a headphone amplifier.  That's at least what my 4th generation iMod requires.  If you compare the line out of the iMod with that of the headphone out of the Zune, you're talking about two completely different sources of output.
