"don't waste your time on a phone or an iPod."
I don't have experience with sound on any phone except an iPhone and there
I agree, I think the sound card is optimised for speech, not music.
But iPods and iPads are actually very good for listening to music, so long
as you use a high-quality sound file. When iPods first came out in 2004 an
audiophile magazine voted it the best device of the year for playing
.wav files.
I find ipods fine for playing classical music (.mp3 files) through
headphones, and iPads playing .wav or .flac files through an amplifier are
indistinguishable from a CD player playing the same tracks via the same
equipment.
