Pretty much confirms that the older Wolfson DAC iPODS are better than the newer Cirrus Logic DAC ones.

That's a comparison with the 6g. The 6g isn't the newer one. It's quiet a few years old and doesn't sound like the 7g. I do agree the the 5.5g does sound better than the 6g, but the chip used does affect the sound to a degree. The output stage and design circuitry are just as much if not more important. You will find that many products with the exact same chip can sound vastly different.

This is indeed a very old link, much discussed here on Head-fi in various threads. It does not apply to the new Classic.
