There's nothing inherently wrong with using an iPod source if set up correctly. They can play 'hi-res' or even DSD files and output the digital signal via "Lightning" connector to an external DAC. This bypasses the iPod's internal DAC and cheapie analog output stage. I run a similar setup in my car using my iPhone 5s with 'hi-res' files played 'direct digital' to my car's audio system DAC.Remember back several years ago when a handful of high-end manufacturers made iPod docks (older 30-pin style) to interface the iPod digitally with outboard DACs? I have one from Wadia that sounds fine with the older iPod Classic (160GB) but I no longer use it.
That being said, most rooms at audio shows these days and for the past handful of years have used computer based playback sources rather than CD 'spinners' or iPods.
