And does it sound different when the sound is coming from a 4s or a iPod?(touch or nano) or any other devices?
It will be the best analog audio signal the apple product(s) is able to make.
The apple products like the iPod do not come with a way to add a (better?) DAC (Digital to Analog Converter) to the audio stream.
To add a DAC to something, there has to be a digital output, like USB, optical or coaxial, which your iPod does not have.
So the DAC built into the apple product(s) is the one you have to use.
All you can do is use the L cable connected to the LOD port, which allows you to bypass the apple products built in amplifier
(amplifiers can add noise to an analog signal) to carry the analog audio signal from the apple product to the best amplifier your willing to buy.
It's best to use only one amplifier, if you daisy chain amplifiers (iPod's and E11's), each one is going to add a little noise to the signal.
Hopefully this helps you understand better what's going on.
