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.
