I've been reading about the lousy headphone output of recent PCDP's. I recall someone saying that most newer PCDP's only have an output of 3 mW per channel.
As a result many are buying older PCDP's that had better headphone outs. I don't recall the exact models, but I'm sure most hard core head-fi'ers know which models they are.
The iPod has 30 mW per channel and is generally considered fairly good sounding without an amp. My question then is has anyone compared the iPod headphone out to one of these older PCDP's that are prized among veteran head-fi'ers?
I'd like to know what people think.
