nano 6g impression

I take it you've heard every DAP on the planet.

No offense, but I wouldn't exactly call the DAPs you've listened to exceptional or great even in terms of sound quality. And yes, you did say it was the best, you said this "I'm sorry but it blows all mp3 players away."

Glad you're diggin the nano though

I love it I need to test it with an amp but thats another time. to explain in a nutshell fast, forward, dynamic, a little edgy, has great depth  just lacks bass but hopefully the headstage arrow can fix that i'll edit with reviews of the headstage arrow+nano later but I am impressed I don't think I'm looking for a new dap for a while waiting on my jh-3a+16 >__< maybe someone can help me with a netbook selection going to need it with my m2tech hiface >_<.  I tested the nano with ath-es10/re0.

I gotta agree w/you guys, especially since you DID say it's the best - period. The only 1 it might be better than is the Zune. The others all sound better - I would know, I have or have access to all of them. An from what I'm hearing, it may sound good, but it's not THAT GOOD. Via an LOD>Amp setup it's probably great - but through the HP out it's just OK.

And w/Rockbox installed in most DAP's the SQ is way better than stock iPod - all of them.
 

Wow, this person must have listened all ipods including new nano and touch!     Common guys, seriously.. does it offend you anyway when someone falls in love with something you hate?  Not like you shorted on apple stocks or anything..

I like the aesthetics of the Nano 6G.

I'd probably buy one but I just can't be arsed with iTunes.

Hello all! Just curious... does the 6g Nano have the same EQ as what's available via the iOS4 upgrade for the Touch? That would mean no distortion.

I can't speak personally on the distortion, but I have noticed something different with the new Nano EQ.  Typically when you turn the EQ on to any setting, there is some kind of a boost in volume.  Some slight, some fairly significant.  What I have noticed with this new Nano is it's just the opposite.  There is significantly more volume with the EQ OFF. 

This little sucker really does put out a decent amount of power.  Looking on the Apple website I see no real specs on these units.  Does anyone know what the DAC is and what kind of power it puts out?

Thank you! That's the answer. Dropping frequencies (thus lowering volume) to EQ is exactly what the iOS4 implementation did to eliminate distortion. I'll be checking out the new Nano soon.
