Hi all,
I just discovered this site and was looking for a little advice please. I've recently been given a new ipod classic - my first mp3 player in fact and I'm now in the process of ripping my whole cd collection to apple lossless format to get the most from it.
I wasn't overly impressed with the SQ initially, so I've invested in a pair of Shure E530's which have improved things dramatically, but was wondering what you guys would recommend as a next step in terms of a portable headphone amp or even dac?
I'm totally new to this, and didn't even know such things existed until a week ago and am now a bit bewildered by what seems to be available! Just how much of an improvement can I expect and are there any specifics you'd recommend?
I'm not a real audiophile, but have always had reasonable equipment in the past - Arcam, Monitor Audio etc and am just looking to squeeze the best SQ possible from the ipod. A very technical friend of mine informs me that the previous version was actually better in terms of SQ, which seems odd.
Any help much appreciated,
Thanks.
