Having been around here for a few weeks, it strikes me that there is a lot of comparisons between DAPs - which is best, A or B, etc, etc. Line out vs. headphone jack. True line out, or not. It goes on.
Now, I would like to propose a project that I hope someone here might take up as a challenge - there certainly seems to be a lot of extremely capable DIYers here. To make the ultimate DAP, with the very best components, with a true line-out, perhaps with the option of the BBE sound enhancements used by Cowon, Wolfson this and cryo that... As you can tell, I am not 100% up to speed on all this. How hard could this be? Red Wine Audio have taken the first step along this road with the iMod, but I have a strong feeling that this could be taken further by someone with sufficient knowledge, and who can replace any of the inferior parts used by Apple to produce something that would truly compete against the very best CD players out there. DAPs clearly haven't reached this level yet.
Anyone think this is possible or feasible? It must be... we could call it the iGod.
