okay, well that jumble of a title basically describes what I am thinking of. Having recently noticed that there are some fairly cheap portable amps out there that people seem to like, and seeing how small they are...I am considering modding an iPod mini once again with a CF card and rockboxing it to use flac files with it. However I have a few tiny little questions.
the iPod mini does have native line out right? so it will sound great with the right cable and a good portable amp right?
does the cable matter excessively? what cable should I get? what amp should i get, I was looking at the Fiio E5, looks uber tiny and cheap, will it be good enough to beat the ipod touch 2G or something like the cowon d2 in audio quality? will it be good enough to use my yuin ok3's to their fullest extent or even go beyond the details they can notice?
Lastly, how long would one expect the Fiio E5 battery to last? I know that it isn't out just yet, or at least I don't think it is, but when will it come out and what can be expected in battery life? is 18-24 hrs reasonable?
Thanks for all the help, I get the feeling a lot of these questions can be answered through a lot of forum searching, but idk if I could find it all and I certainly don't have the time right now to try and figure it all out which is why I am asking.
