Hey guys, i have a few questions for those who own both the E17 and the iPod 5.5 (or 5) G.
As i mentioned before i have the iPod Nano 2g and i mentioned how i loved the sound from it when connected to the E17 with an LOD. However after further listening and careful comparisons, i have come to the conclusion that the dac in the iPod 2g is not as good as the one in the E17 (not unexpected really). I tested by first listening to a song on my computer with the E17 through usb mode, then listening to the same song with the iPod connected with LOD. First case utilizes the E17 dac, second case the iPod dac.
It seems that the E17 dac has better transparency and just feels more musical and energetic. It's much more enjoyable to me. Now knowing me, im going to want to go out and solve this problem and my immediate thoughts went to the iPod 5.5g because of all the praise it gets.
Can anyone post their thoughts on the differences between the E17 dac and the Ipod 5.5g dac?
