Any feedback on which of these two currant Apple products has best sound quality out of headphone jack?Not sure if they use same DAC or what DAC that is.

He is referring to the Ipod TOUCH 5G, which doesn't have a hard drive.

Actually i gave up on the ipod Touch(too busy for such a small screen) and went with an ipod 5.5 80 Gb refurbished.

Thanks,now has anyone put Rockbox on the 5.5?Im a bit confused on how this works.What happens to my 50 Gb of music already on the Ipod when I put on Rockbox since the process involves a reset and goodby music and also goodby Itunes where my music is stored.How do i get it back on the ipod if Rockbox doesnt connect with Itunes?Lots of questions here that is making me wonder if its worth the effort.

Rockbox is a must on the 5.5G..lol.....JK, but it is awesome though.  Nowadays with the utility it's fairly simple.  Once RB'ed the ipod acts like a hard drive, just cut and paste music over.  You can always boot into the original firmware as well (dual-boot).

Go to the rock box website. They have a step by step that's pretty easy to understand. I wouldn't call myself computer savvy at all and I was able to do it.
