If you need an amp that is protected against such things, you might want to check on this one:
 
CORDA QUICKSTEP
 
RF-noise (iPhone!!) is removed by extensive filtering of the input signal.

If you put the E12 on top of / next to / within 4in of a mobile device, there's not much to do about interference noise.

so far my work around is to use longer line out cable and put the amp and my iPhone far away in the different pocket of my pant or jacket. Obviously it looks like a cable or fashion disaster to me :-/

I'm thinking about moving from an iPhone 5 to an iPod Classic 7th gen. so that I could use an LOD and have more space for my music. I'm just wondering if I'll seen an improvement in sound quality going that route and if it'll be anything significant?

Do you have an amp yet?

There's a definite improvement over the sound of the iphone4 and that's including the use of an LOD. I'd think there would be a noticeable improvement over the headphone out of the iphone 5

I have the e12.

Just to make it clear, I'm currently using the FiiO E12 with the 3.5mm male to male cable. I'm looking to move to a iPod Classic 7th gen and use a FiiO L9 LOD. Also wanting the extra space but I was just wondering if I'd experience a noticeable upgrade in SQ. Currently using the ATH-ES10's FYI.
 
Cheers.

That's kind of what I assumed. I know its not apples to apples (I guess it sort of is) but you will definitely get better sound going LOD either way. In my opinion, the IPOD classic LOD is better than the iphone LOD (which in turn is better than the headphone out) ...

Cool, I appreciate the help. Looking forward to hearing the difference for myself. I needed the extra space anyway, so any increase in SQ will be a welcome bonus I suppose.

I use the Ipod Classic 7th gen LOD with the E12. It is a very good combo. And yes, the LOD is much better than the headphone out.

I'm using the ipod classic 7th gen with the fiio e12 and that sounds just as good as my fiio x3. The ipod/E12 combo is the way to go.

I'm pleased to hear it! Should be going out tomorrow to get myself one. Another reason for moving to a dedicated player is that answering my phone is a bit of a hassle with a relatively large portable amp strapped to it.

I just got my E12/L9 (LOD) yesterday! I was already happy with my Ipod classic/UE TF10 combo but WOW!! Not a subtle maybe-I-hear-it difference. Truly outstanding! AND the E12 drives my Sennheiser HD600's effortlessly and sounds great doing it! A true giant killer!!

 

[GWagon]

Ahh... Much better.
 

 
This setup also solves the problem I had with interference when using my iPhone. I'm now tempted to rip all of my music in lossless format, but maybe for a day when I'm less busy.
