Better than Ipod

[happydogs]

Hi







I am not happy with the sound from my IPod classic when
played through my stereo. I rip to my ITunes in lossless on my PC and then
transfer to the IPod. I want something
to do the same function (store and play music into my HiFi) that will play all
file formats, I don’t need portable and am not after a streamer



I am looking at a Olive 03HD (This will top the budget) but can’t
test one locally and am concerned I will spend the $ with little to no improvement
in sound detail or quality.







The question is does anybody make a



1.
Good sounding (Sound quality the main objective)



2.
One box (Hard drive and player)



3.
Plays all file types (Flac, MP3, WAV)



4.
Simple to use



I have a Yamaha A-S500 amp, Yamaha CD-300 and two sets of
B&W 685s (One pair in the lounge the other in the dining room) The IPod
Classic is played through a Yamaha YID-W10 dock.







Is there a better music server available or has any one
compared the Oliver 03HD to IPod?



Note: I like the look of the naim HDX but surely there must
be similar kit around the $1600.00 Aus. Mark







Thanks in advance for any help

Rollercoasters, cake, chorizo and halumi in a beef burger, dogs running in streams, spirited driving down a country lane, riding bikes,

all of these are better than an iPod
