I did, thats why I asked. There is nothing on Wolfson site regarding WM8533 

Hmm, looks like the Touch 5 is going to be a nice choice. I'm digging those OI measurements, and I don't care whether it's Wolfson or Cirrus, as I know Cirrus Logic is a perfectly competent chip company. I'm looking to replace my old 2G Touch, which was a bit of a disappointment SQ-wise, but I refuse to lug around anything more than a single DAP.

I thought the 4th gen Touch was a great sounding DAP. Hopefully the 5th gen is too, although I won't be buying one, at least for a while.

Well, I'm looking to use it as a portable camera too, and the 4G Touch is not up to snuff in that aspect.

I probably will be waiting a while as well, but it'll definitely be on my shortlist of things to get.

So, the iPhone 5 or iPod 5th generation can bypass its internal DAC when using this adapter with built-in Wolfson DAC?

This thread is a bit old (3 days) but I thought it would be good to contribute. I used a dodgy digital multimeter and it gave me ~1.5 ohms for the new iPod Touch - in comparison the O2 gave me about 2 ohms (it should be 0.5) so the multimeter is a bit dodgy, but it should be roughly within a few ohms, which is a good sign. Driving my K701's directly (no amp :3) the new iPod Touch 5g sounds fuller than the 2g but it isn't as loud (which is obviously an issue with a K701). Driving a Brainwavz B2 the new iPod Touch is on par with the 4s - I don't think I could tell them apart. My customs aren't in my hands right now, but they have a very low impedance so I'll see how the new Touch fairs with a very low impedance high end BA IEM when I get them back.

Edit: In case anyone is wondering, I measured using the method described here http://www.bcae1.com/outptimp.htm, by no means is it accurate and only an estimate. I do not have access to proper measuring equipment so don't quote me.

Can the new iPhone DAC play 96/24?

Could you please elaborate in detail like how ipod touch 5g is similar 4s in sound quality? it would be really helpfull

Is ipod touch 5g is as warm and full as iphone 4s?

Don't think so..

I have one of each sitting next to me right now, and can safely say that pic is 100% nonsense. They are virtually identical in width.

In case you guys are curious: http://monoadc.blog64.fc2.com/blog-entry-99.html (new Touch is measured at 0.72 ohm Zo)

I am also interested on finding this out. I just got an iphone 5, and I would like to use it as source for a PP6 or JH-3A.
