Best solution for hearing the purest sound from iTunes music downloads

i have question regarding sound quality when playing itunes downloads.

used burn songs downloaded itunes cd-rs , sounded great.

when ran out of cds, decided idea buy ipod store songs downloaded onto 1 device. decided go ipod shuffle because seemed perfect solution strictly music, , take me , hook car using auxiliary cable.

upon receiving ipod shuffle (current generation) , listening it, tell sound not pure , clear when listen on ipad or mac. assume nano , classic have same sound quality. had ipod touch (current generation) few weeks , sound quality on par ipad , mac.

loss in sound quality disappoints me because 1.) i'm not hearing itunes download in glory, , 2.) use device listen music (especially in car).

recommend considering situation? should revert burning cds?

 

someone know , opinion regarding music value highly said recently:

"in work , i've owned or used first gen ipod20 gb, 2nd gen ipod 40gb, first, second, , third ipod nano , ipod touches, , 160 gb classic. classic sounds best me. 2nd , third generation ipod touches sound seem color sound more classic if makes sense.

newer nano sounds better not touch or classic."

hope helps you.
