Wow! I knew an amp would improve the sound quality of portable players but now I'm being blown away with the vast amount of choices. Not to mention IMods :~)
I have what I believe is a 4th gen non color click wheel 20GB. My thoughts now are:
Get
A) Decent amp
B) Decent headphones
C) Short cable
D) Have it IMod'ed when battery goes bad to get two birds at same time
Various questions:
I imported all my songs from CD's at 192kbs. Not exactly sure what format. Will I need to redo them at a later date to get great sound quality or am I OK on that front? I assume it will probably not be worth the monumental effort.
Can you explain the different formats available to use with importing into computers/IPods and their virtues?
I saw a site where a special cable was required for the 5/5.5 gen players but not 4th. Does this mean the bottom connection cable is not required to connect my player to amp now or after being IMod'ed?
What are a few good bang for the buck amps?
Is the $20 Cardas 6" cable adequate to start with?
Any potential valuable you can toss this NooB's way?
