I agree with Budrew. If you intend to use this as a source for your main system, I would go with an iBook and a USB DAC. This will be light years ahead of the iPod sonically. Plus you can use an external hard drive to rip too, that will give you much larger capacity than the iPod. However, if you are looking for a portable device that you can hook up to your system on occasion, then the iPod is a tremendous value for money.
ipod -VS - Mac-Mini
Need help from the experts here. I want to to rip my CD collection to a hard drive system, and I'm going to be connecting this to an integrated amp. I want something that's going to be easy to use and with good sound quality, of course. I'm looking at an ipod vs. the Mac-Mini, but I'm open to any suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
