I don't know if this was talked about before but after a quick search I could not find any real info on it.
 
I found this while perusing the Fostex website. http://www.fostex.jp/personal/products/HP-P1?tab=spec

The website mentions that it is 65,000 yen which is around 750USD, pretty crazy.

Interesting. Does it bypass the iPod's DAC?

 

[pekingduck]

^^ I suppose it does, given the S/PDIF output?

 

[sulvaat]

It says it has a 32bit DAC in it so I looked that up too: http://www.asahi-kasei.co.jp/akm/en/product/ak4480/ak4480.html
I think when they say "Digital Filter" it probably means Jitter correction but I am unsure of this.
 
The more I read on this the more I want it though.

there's definitely another thread about this somewhere, but yeah, that price is outrageous.

I have just got this not long ago from the Fostex distributor in Singapore (I am a Malaysian). And I must say, this bad boys are good! but i have one question though. Does the line out on this FULLY bypass the internal amp? (plan on having a shoot off between CLAS and the HP-P1). And what is Jitter correction?

 

[Dragoon47]

I have just received my amp today however when I plug my 80 GB classic iPod in all I get is the message it's ok to disconnect?

I cannot operate the iPod unless I disconnect it from the amp! Help. any suggestions ?

I have emailed Fostex direct, I have not tried another iPod yet?

Thank you

From fostex manual, you can use hp-p1 as dac with:
 
Touch 2, 3, 4 G
iPod classic (so 6G and newer)
iPod nano 4, 5, 6 G
iPhone 3G, 3GS, 4
 
And there have been successful reports in the Fostex main report about iPads too.

The iPad2 works with my HP-P1.

I am having popping noise from my HP-P1 (both line out and headphone outs), anyone else experiencing the same problem? What should i do?

You should reboot your iPod.
