Hey all! Just bought an used iPod Classic 160GB so I can carry al my music in ALAC without worrying about space too much. I used to use my 2nd/3rd generation iPod touch 8GB. I used it in combination with the Sennheiser IE80, no amps. Sound was great. But I wonder if there are any difference between these two in terms of sound quality ? Never felt like using an amp on my touch, seemed like a waste since my IE80 got enough power from it. Do I need an amp on my iPod classic ? I do see a lot of people using amps with an LOD cable on iPod classic but thats mainly if they are using large headphones. Anyway, Thanks in Advance!

Have you listened to it with your IEMs?

I have listen to an iPod classic, but that was 1)an older generation (older generation 80GB) and 2) the guy used 128/256kbs mp3's so thats not really comparable material. Havent recieved my iPod yet.

I think if you're satisfied with the way they sound with your touch you'll be fine with the classic.

i too came from an touch (4th gen) and switched to the classic. to my ears the classic sounded a lot cleaner.
