This thread is a continuation of the thread found here, which was unfortunately locked.
The purpose of this thread is not to debate anything resembling the absolute statement "iPod Shuffle reigns King," nor is it to discuss the author's sample pool of DAPs. The author had limited access to test models; hopefully we can all accept that fact and leave it be.
The link to the PC Magazine article in question can be found here and the link to afforementioned quantifiable data/graphs can be here. The graphs yield some interesting results, some expected, and some unexpected.
If you scroll down on the last page of the previously locked thread here you will find that breez actually ran tests of his own to supplement the originals.
I personally found interesting the author's comment on the iPod Shuffle:
"The reason for this sterling performance is that the left and right channels each have two transistors, one pushing, one pulling, and no capacitor that gets discharged over time."
Could someone perhaps elaborate on that point?
