Like the title says. Which would you pick or prefer and why?
If you use the LO for an amp with the nano, you will lose every bit of advantage you gained by buying a small player. Ive not heard the nano 6g yet, but my wife may purchase one. But if the older models are any indication, you will get similar amounts of hiss from the Sansa or the iPod, but where the sansa will win is in the driving of very low ohm balanced armature earphones.
Apartt from that, rock box has a good eq. But the compressed stereo image from the sans is a deterrent for me. I'd not use the iPod with an amp especially if you want to keep it a small system. The iPod should be good enough sounding without and the same with the clip
For what it's worth, my IE8 present zero hiss when plugged into my 6g Nano; this is the only player I own that doesn't do it. I do love my 6g Nano and it was the right choice for me, but I find it hard to simply recommend it over the Clip. You can buy how many Clips for the price of one Nano?
I dunno , i have a clip+ that i use to use an RSA Shadow with both being the same size, ultra portability IMO.
I agree, not hard to maintain portability and go amped.
Awesome combo too, cant beat the size for something that sounds so great. Might be the best ultraportable setup.
