Not true. iPods were regarded as having crummy DACs until the Shuffle, which was a paradox in that it had incredibly limited features but also very good audio quality.
- ladzoppelin 13y agoI said DAC's+Power+Design = "audio quality" and I have no idea how good or bad the ipod sounds. My point was that saying all digital devices sound exactly the same is false.
- podperson 13y agoYou're right -- I stand corrected. A bit more research shows that some iPods have had weak bass output and other issues but -- again -- no more so than rivals, and most iPods have pretty much flawless output (again, modulo the quality of the encoding and the output device). More to the point -- making a blanket claim about iPods having always been inferior reveals the writer to be an anti-Apple troll.
