Ordered the updated 5th generation iPod

After researching the net looking for information about iPod sound quality, I found I wasn't alone in my opinion about the iPod Classic. There are also a number of reviews of the previous generation iPod videos (30 and 80 GB) that claim that there were huge improvements in sound quality over previous iPod models due to the Wolfson DAC.

Lo and behold, Apple Canada had 80GB refurbs on the Apple Store for $199. This was $50 cheaper than the new 80GB classic at Future Shop. I have had a relatively positive experience with Apple refurbs (I'm sure my iPod 4th generation was brand new) and they have a full 1 year warranty. So I ordered one, and I look forward to seeing if the sound quality is what the reviewers say it is.
