Really? You've tried this side by side and found this result? I'd like to know the details.
Because I have tried the exact same files using same Etymotic Er-4s with a 160 Gb Classic, an 8 Gb Touch, and 4 Gb and 8 Gb Nanos (yes we are Apple fanboys / fangirls in my house). I'll be buggered if I can hear the hard drive in the Classic, or any significant difference between the flash memory players. Maybe with a pocket amp better than the FiiO E5 that I have here. I think not however

Whether hard drive or flash memory, the digits have to be read into a buffer and decoded by a DAC
What I do agree with is that different iPods have different SQ. Bu I believe that this is due to the DAC not the type of storage

I was about to upgrade to ipod 160gb from my ageing sandisk sansa E260 4gb(w/Rockbox installed) and 1st gen ipod shuffle but ended up buying Kingston 4gb microSD HC for the sansa e260 expansion slot. I don’t like what I heard from ipod 160gb and 20gb (don’t know the version),
I don’t know but my shuffle and sansa have better SQ compare to the two, i searched the web and found the advantages of flash memory based mp3 player . I know others would this agree but its just me. As they say “ newer does not mean better"
