i dont plan to listen to an ipod with Bose headphones or anything, 99% of the time for bumping in the car. i just dont want it to sound like a cassette



Again, as long as you are running it into your car with a line in and not FM modulation, it will sound fine. I doubt highly you will be able to tell the difference between ipods based on sound. If the 'hissing' was THAT bad, there would have been more press about it and possibly a recall.
