| 28-03-08 / 00:42 : iPods audio quality to be lower ? (cjed) |
| Apple might have decided to drop Wolfson DAC from the iPod Nano and iPodTouch in a few months. Current ipodTouch and iPhone use DAC Wolfson, as well as old ipods up to generation 5.5. However 6G ipod Classic use a Cirrus Logic audio DAC, said to be worse sounding :There is more treble and noticeably more definition. There is definitely less...presence... It lacks 3D image and has an electronic haze to the sound. We can check this thanks to precise measurements here. As some say, ipods miniaturization should lead to a sensible loss in audio quality. It reminds me the switch of DAC maker between Roland JV880 (and previsous D series) and later JV and XP, that led to a less warm sound with very few presence. |
