More on iPod audio quality

I can definitely say that my refurbished 80GB iPod Video has superior audio quality when compared to the latest generation Nano and iPod Classic. Now Electronista is piping in with a report that Wolfson is being dropped as the supplier of the digital to analog converter (DAC) for many iPod models. No mention is made of the iPod Classic.

What is interesting is how mid- to high-end audio gear, including car audio decks, are bypassing the iPod's DAC through USB connections providing the digital signal. More to follow.
