Is USB definitely superior to Ipod via 6FL?

I have heard that people have experienced superior sound with USB rather than Ipod via 6FL. Is this the case? I would be grateful for opinions as I am unsure whether to order a couple of 8 Gb sticks or go straight for the ipod?

Varies wildly depending on the format of your audio. If you have 128kbps mp3's, then USB will be marginally higher quality because you're skipping a D->A->D conversion step when reading them right off USB storage. Apple Lossless on an iPod will beat both.
