I've been enjoying my SR-71, 3G iPod, Turbo Dock and Senn 600's at work. Today I thought it might be interesting to try the iPod with the Raptor as sort of a mini music server. As you know it is easy to switch sources on the Raptor with two sets of RCAs and a toggle switch. I love the Raptor with CDs playing on an MF A5, and I certainly didn't expect the iPod to win the sound award against the A5.
Interestingly enough I thought the iPod sounded better with the SR-71, than the Raptor. Is the Raptor just too revealing of the source as compared to the SR-71? The iPod's music is ripped lossless. Note the SR-71 sounded great with the A5 while I was waiting for the "Eagle to Land", and the Raptor to ship.
All in all this is no big deal because 99.999% of the time I'll be using the Raptor with the A5.
