Hi,

is there a sound quality difference between ipod and ipod mini ?

I come across RMAA test for ipod, but not mini.

please advise.

They have the exact same sound quality and power output for driving headphones. However, battery life is different.

The Mini 1G and iPod 3G use the same chipset; the 4G a different one. I personally like the SQ of the Mini (as long as you do not activate the EQ). Also the 1G Mini uses the very durable and expensive Hitachi Microdrive; the Mini 2G uses the less expensive and questionable seagate drive.

I know...I know, but I guess it's just relative: IBM makes the first Microdrive (340MB), get's a well established reputation, then sells the division off to Hitachi. I have had a good deal more issues with Seagate drives (I'm in the business of using HDDs for Digital Video Storage).

Really? Out of all the computer repairs that my dad and i have done we have come across about 3 actuall HD failures. Im calling a failure a physical crash (as in the head smacking against the plater). And all of those were 6 years old or older.

I dealt with a ton of computer equipment and I'd take a Seagate drive over any other brand on the market.
