What a headline. iPods got a lot of praise for including Wolfson DACs. The hardware was better than most and they sounded better. The ES9018 in this might indeed sound great, too.

Wouldn't it be nice for this to catch on? A chance to move all audio from v0/16/44 to lossless/24/192. With DMCA, maybe a good player to jailbreak and put linux on. If anything, it'll give Apple a reason to update the iPods.

As an ardent opponent of audio woo, I will admit that "high-resolution" audio does have one advantage: it never has a LOUDNESS WARS mix.
