Ipod and quality sound

I added, via I-tunes some Wagner Opera to my Ipod Classic 160g. It sounded terrible, tinny and thin, even though the system is a high end system, (Kora Galaxy tube system, Martin Logan speakers etc. Is there a way to do this correctly without compression so the sound will be as good as from the CD direct. Would I be better to use Media Monkey, or should I just abandon the whole idea as not practical

A friend told me that the older iPods use Wolfson DACs and have much better sound that the newer Classic, and touch screen models..... I forget what DACs he said are in the new one's.

I actually heard his iPod playing through a pair of Wilson Sophia's, and damned if it didn't sound pretty good; and that was in comparison to an Ayre CD player!
