Repurposed the old ipod with the imod, 128gb ssd & new batteries and fiio a1 amp. Pleasantly surprised

Nice! I had one of those. Still one of the best UI's ever, and a beautiful design. Unfortunately sounded like someone yelling into a metal trash can. It's actually the reason I discovered this hobby in general, I went on a mission to find something that sounded better.

True. I bought it cuz i just wanted a no frills mp3 player but the hp out is just crap, you don't have to be an audiophile to tell, and so it got stowed away unloved for years until i got into this hobby and discovered how to unleash it's potential instead of copping out and just getting a new dap. I'm still old school enough to collect my songs manually over the years instead of spotify so this setup actually works for me. The fiio amp is surprisingly good, dont let the entry level tag fool you. 3 hardware eq options, good battery life, cheap as hell and most importantly sounds reasonably good within my expectations and still not sacrifice on the portability aspect. It pairs well with my iems and really have no complains about it.

Also I'd like to add that replacement parts such as front and back plate covers, lcd screen, battery, storage and even the pcbs are readily available on sites such as aliexpress, which means servicing diy or paying someone else to do it is no issue, which is more than you can say for any other daps nowadays.

Tin T4 + Cayin N6 Mk. 2 makes for a great pairing.
