I have just listened to the straight line outs of the 3GS and the 09 iPod Classic (No amps) and to my surprise i noticed that the 3GS line out is louder than the 09 Classic one.
Given the similarity of their HP outs (The 3GS being a tad better) i used to think that they share dacs and it was the amp section where the difference lied but now i'm thinking that is the dac tuning where the difference is.
For the test i used sendstation line out dock, Shure SE420 iems, and a k-14 mastered song ripped from the u2 360 blu ray LPCM 48-24 soundtrack and of course sound check off.
Any opinions on this ?
