Does anyone have an answer to how the 7th gen’s headphone jack sounds compared to the dongle?

about the same, it's more or less the same Cirrus Logic DAC

Apple should produce a real iPOD

Or a more powerfull dongel

Picked up a 5th gen, 64gb. I was drawn to the metallic lime/piss color.

Does the 7th gen push any more volume than the 6th gen? Just wondering if it's better for dongles.

On second thought, I suppose that wouldn't make a difference since it's the amp in the dongle that's doing the work.

"On Tuesday, the company announced that it was discontinuing the iPod touch, the version of the music player that features the iPhone’s multitouch interface, which first bowed in 2007. The last of the iPod touch models are available to purchase through apple.com, Apple Store locations, and Apple authorized resellers 'while supplies last,' the company said."

If storage isn’t an issue, is this a decent buy? Or still no?

Just for listening to offline music, and a touchscreen for searching for songs more easily than a click wheel. Also, I already have iTunes set up and am familiar with it for better or worse.

I use it together with NeutronMP https://neutroncode.com and I am happy with. Except that it discharge battery in a few days without any use.

I've never read such nonsense. If this is how the average tech consumer understands audio products then it's no wonder the iPod has been discontinued. If only it had a "dual DAC headphone cable".

Picked up an iPod Touch for nostalgic reasons and as somewhat of a memento to the iPod seeing as it’s now discontinued. I had a 6th Gen a couple of years ago but the battery had completely gone on that unit so I got rid of it.

iPod Touch’s are such great devices. Sad to see them discontinued, but I understand why they did it. I’ll try and squeeze as many years as I can out of this unit!

I've owned several touches and currently have a 128gb 2016 SE that's used solely for locally-stored music. I keep it in airplane mode and on low-power mode. I think it's worth it. Better battery than touches; lasts a long time between charges. Of course, I hate new iOS versions. they sort of junked up the music playing UI. But I still love the device's performance compared to other daps I've owned. With Apple, you know you get a finished product and don't have to give feedback on what needs fixing.

Somebody compared IPOD Touch sound quality vs IPHONE 6S/6 ? Do they sound similar ?

Hi, I was directed to this thread regarding an inquiry I have regarding my broken, modded apple ipod (7th generation). It had some some issues where it was skipping song,s had a line going through the screen, and now no longer turns on at all anymore. I've had issues with it before and I've had a couple of people from this site help me before but they don't reply to my emails anymore. Can anyone fix it for me?
