Finally i skipped the tempting Touch and bought a 2009 iPod Classic 160 Gigs after reading a few scattered and surprising opinions about a sound quality improvement.
Having had last year Classic 120 I never thought that i would get anything else aside from 40 more gigs which to me it's great since i like to have my entire music collection in the palm of my hand anywhere anytime...but when i managed to sync my 549 albums onto the ipod and i tried a few albums both through Line Out and through the HP out a big smile appeared on my face because i think that it sounds better than previous models kind of more open and natural both through LOD and HP. The HP in particular is quite a leap forward. It sounds really good IMHO.
Albums listened on this first test have been: Gavin Friday's Shag Tobacco, Macy Gray's On How Life Is, Diana Krall's Quiet Nights, Killers' Day & Age and U2's Linear soundtrack.
Since i have by no means golden ears i think it would be helpful for other people if users of the new classic could post here their impressions on SQ.
Overall i think that this year's iPod Classic has a great VFM and is a great device which i guess it's being overlooked cause it's interface remains unchanged and it's not as flashy as the touch ones. But sound and capacity wise i think it's a winner.
