yeah, its ok and admittedly the line out is reputedly a lot better than the headphone socket
but sound quality from other manufactuerers is most definitely better... none of this matters much of course especially within the relevant marketplace; the only reason I pointed this out was to take a stand against the popularist idea that apple bring out 'revolutionary' products
in point of fact, the latest Archos players (true video+audio solution playing wmv, divx, Xvidm mpeg and anything you can throw at it) have also gone backwards in sound quality. No doubt the effects of mass production and cost cutting. I reverted back to an older AV500 which still has a very good sound when partnered with some good phones.
