I know people have a downer because it's "cool" to hate apple etc now. I would still get an ipod touch 128 gig in a heartbeat and be done with the dap scene if it didn't have that camera (banned from work place due to client confidentiality) and be done with it. That said I still hate itunes, so perhaps not!I think that the iPod Classic 7th Gen offers a lot of detail and crispiness. I use it in my main amp and dac rig and is usually my go to. But I’ve grown to love the iPod Video 5th Gen, and I now understand why it is everyone favorite. It sounds really damn great right out of the headphone jack. You really do not need a external amp, that’s how much of a gem it is. A lot of detail that is so smooth. If the iPod 5th gen was a bed sheet it would be satin sheets. The iPod touch 4th gen sounds fantastic, a lot of detail and separation. I was lucky to find a 64gb version on iOS 4 a few months ago. I would like to try the iPod photo 4th gen, heard that it is the best sounding iPod
I’ve tried different various brands of music players that are technically superior than any iPod that was ever made...but I keep coming back to apple products. Say what you want about apple, but the ipods were some of the best design music players ever. The front and back of the iPods were sexy. The ui was so simple in design and usability, yet its ease of use is so hard to beat compared to other brands and what they offer. It’s a joy to use.
I’m kind of at a still on upgrading and changing music players around. I’m comfortable with the ipods. Lately I have been focusing on my desktop audio rig and vintage hi fi gear. To me it’s not about having the superior device, it’s about what works for you and makes you happy.
I do plan on searching for an original zune 30gb in the color brown one day. The hobby never stops, and your wallet never closes.
Peace.
I have a 128gb ipod touch and love it, it works flawlessly. I too have that same rule about cameras in the work place but I don't make it obvious when using it and I'm a supervisor too, so I get looked past.I know people have a downer because it's "cool" to hate apple etc now.
