[QUOTE="handsome, post: 68526, member: 772"] using the headphone output on the iPod to connect to a hifi passes the signal through the headphone amplifier in the pod. using a dock bypasses the headphone amp which will improve the quality (you are just using the linestage of the pod now). the best way however is to use a digital dock and an external DAC as ken pointed out. using 320kps (for MP3) or 256kps (for AAC) does make a large difference. however check that you are NOT using 'joint stereo'. best quality is with lossless. also check that you turn off the equaliser on the ipod when connected to the hifi.
