    iPod dock output better than headphone out?

    Im+ also let's you use a variety of messenger services! Lineout does indeed generally sound better from iPods but adds a significant expense as well as bulk! Personally though I gotta say it's worth it!

    Someone, PLEASE tell me what an amp is

    an amp is an amplifier and is used to improve the signal between source and your headphones! Most but not all headphones will benefit from amplification to varying degrees. What source do you plan to amp as this can be important too. Will affect the way which you would set up your rig! Amps...

    Pico, Predator, HD-600, ER-4P and SE530

    predator does indeed colour the sound moreso than anything else I have used but it is a very competent little amp! Still waiting on my pico to arrive but hopefully should be in next month or so! In the mean time I have to say that my predator is more than decent enough and won't disappoint...

    Is the iPod lineout better than other great sounding players?

    martell with all due respect what have Sony players and your experience with them got to do with sound from the line out on apple players? Line out sounds vastly superior due to fact that passes the internal amplifier of the iPod/iPhone and allows you to choose which amp suits your needs best...

    The Best Portable Headphone Amps

    You guys all forgetting the iqube! If don't need DAC and money isn't an issue I don't think it can be beaten! Stomps all over my predator IMHO! Sorry just the way I see it! Predator is a solid amp and I have ordered a pico so please don't accuse me of being biased or not being impartial...

    iPod through Dock

    imod allows you to skip straight from the Dac whereas the LOD still has to pass through some circuitry which degrades the signal on it's path to line out! As far as I know the imod has been tampered with significantly internally to allow the cleaner signal path! You also require a different...

    How much diff do LODs make to iPod Touch?

    if you use LOD female connector you can to direct to headphones but the signal strength is either way high or way low dependabt on DAP! As you are bypassing the amp you cannot change the volume on the player and you are left with a raw source requiring the use of secondary amp to control...
