Trose,

Have you been able to compare the 5.5g imod to the 4g imod? If so what were your obervable differences?

So If I buy my music off iTunes Plus and feed my RSA Hornet/Cardas /HD600 the iMod might be a waste?

That would be like putting 87 octane in a top fuel dragster.

Check my sig out for what Vinnie of the iMod fame says about compressed files.

Absolutely not. 256kbs is virtually indistinguishable for lossless for the vast majority (almost all) people Only your ears can truly decide, but the sound will still be very VERY good at 256.

Just try it for yourself and trust what you hear. You are the one that is going to have to be satisfied with what you use. I played with AAC 300 vbr vs. Apple Lossless and I went with the lossless. That does not mean to say that sometime in the future when my collection gets much larger I will not compromise some by keeping favorites as lossless and make some less played files compressed.

Sorry, I did not meant any harm. As long as I do not break any copy protection this practice is not illegal in Germany! You are even allowed to make copies of your legal bought CDs (5-7 copies per CD is the case ruling right now, if I remember correctly) and distribute them for free to your friends. You are not allowed to charge money for this.
So please, before doing the same check your local laws.

I'm still looking at what cable I should get, but I'm personally uncomfortable with the huge price jumps from the regular cryo to anything else.

But as of now, I'm going for the cryo + silver combo dock. I want to try the cotton, but I'm afraid it'll break if I put it in my jacket pocket and whatnot; this stuff is portable, so imo it has to be rugged too.

If price is a concern do what I did and see if ken will make you a 22g cryo / 20g silver dock. Sounds great!

Honestly, the whole dock connector thing is the big downside with the 5.5 G iMod IMO.
I hated them when I still had my video iPod and felt lucky when I finally had everything sold. After I got used to the iMod/amp combo I never regretted having no headphone out any longer.
