ดีระดับนั้นได้แน่หรือ เพราะ mp 3 ก็ compress ลงมามากแล้ว คงไม่มีทางสู้ cd ได้อย่างแน่นอน
From what I read from Stereophile, it does not focus on mp3 and AAC format for decent sound. To achieve the decent sound quality, they use AIFF format which is relatively 'uncompressed' format which they said sound very close to the source... (Their associated equipments for testing this thing are, to me, considered world class).
In a way, if you plan to buy iPod for mp3 cataloging and output it to a main system, you won't get a good sound quality due to poor source (mp3). If you look for MP3 and good sound quality, I would say 'forget about it.'
If you plan to buy iPod for cataloging your current music collection, ie use it as a juke box for play the music continously or shuffling the music, then this may be a good idea, provided that you don't mind spending some time to convert your current CD collection to AIFF format and store it in iPod.
