So here I've been for the past two weeks playing with the ipod i received for a christmas gift. Loaded it up and started using it heavily. Stock buds sucked so trolled around here and picked up the EM7's, KSC-75's, MX-500's, and the ATH-7ti's. Nothing really sounded good. So I ordered a collectible (!)Coda. Sound improved a little but nothing to write home about. Ordered a pocket dock and Sik din. Got them both and still not really happy. Changed ripping to 256 (AAC) and 320kbps (Lame, EAC) thinking that would help.
So tonight out of shear boredom i hooked the ipod line out to my main home rig. What a joke! No wonder i haven't been happy with the portable sound. It sucks! Flat, two dimensional, un musical crap. Ripped the ipod off of the mini to rca's, dropped a disc into the ml and all was magical again.
The saga of the story is the old adage, garbage in, garbage out. You can have all the portable gear in the world but it's still gonna sound 'portable' unless you can go lossless digital/dac/amp.
Not really sure what the point of this has been but the new 3 Doors Down EP is rocking....
