Hi from Russia, I look relatively recently,but I can already see the potential of the channel, funny jokes that even those who are slightly familiar with the language will understand, the best channel and the best videos
10:40 If you hold Option+Shift while adjusting the volume, it allows you to control the volume on tiny increments. This is also true for monitor and keyboard brightness.
Let's see... early 80s brings the first Walkman and, coincidentally, the death of the 8-Track. By the mid-80s, the CD has emerged and, by the late 80s, the CD "Discman" is somewhat common. (Personally, I've always wanted to see the AU 1982 where some Korean factory pushed out an 8-Man.)
I’m one of those “I don’t care about iPods but I love this channel” types, and I think it’s just ‘cause you have a really fun personality and charisma to watch. If some stuffy tech reviewer made a video about this thing I wouldn’t give it the time of day.

hey moit, love the vids, just giving you a hint on Mac: use shift+option and volume up and down to get a little finer control, it works with brightness too (if you didnt know, i bet you did though haha)
This video actually helped me learn about the stuff with the audio resistance that I didn’t know at all. It actually terrifies me how you can go deaf from the small mistake of leaving the volume too high on a device like this.
nitpick: the measurement on headphones in ohms isn't resistance, it's impedance which is similar but different in that it doesn't just tell u the load of the headphones but also the headphones' effect on changing the timing/reflecting of waves sent through it. it doesn't really matter for the average person to know this but if u want to do more reading into why it matters to have an amp then it's good to know the terminology. Also i fully expect someone who knows electrical engineering to come along and give a more in depth explanation nitpicking my nitpick
Yeah, another interesting thing about impedance is that dynamic drivers like those in the majority of headphones have impedance/frequency curves that vary massively, especially around their resonant frequency. Very important to understand because high output impedance sources like output transformer less tube amps will change the frequency response due to the reactive load
Fascinating as usual, I'd love to see you go at the wild world that is audiophile DAPs some more. Like the Xuelin 1969 which literally comes with a tube amp. Or the Shozy Alien, a 150$ iPod shuffle. Even the more reasonable Fiio X1 drove me insane by implementing a scrollwheel WITH NO ACCELERATION.

7:43 sounds like some diesel engine lmfao
This is the type of device in shopping magazines ya read on the plane
Wow, thank you for reviewing this player. Almost 10 years ago I went on a audiophile website, saw this player being sold for astronomical amounts of money and dreamed of how I'm gonna grow up, make big money and buy this one. Now I know what it's like
Wow your channel quickly grew! Congrats!
DankPods : "I'm the only guy that only got IPod because people threw them out."
Me : you guys can buy IPod?
I bought a fully working iPod for 10 dollars.
@@JamesnLollify well, in here at least 20 buck for old ipod 4
I got a broken third gen for 16 bucks
@@thecaptainnoodles that's rare for the price, in here with that price we only have iPhone 4s
Naufal Fatihussalam i know i was really lucky
I was watching your channel a few minutes ago. I had to restart my phone and as soon as I opened up YT, there was a new video by you.
This player is like the soup chef that will kick you out or leave if you don't do things his way, but when the stars align, it's the best thing you've ever tasted
I know it ain’t the best technology wise but WOW it’s beautifully designed
*loud static* "Yeah, this one's my favourite!"
No one:
Dankpods: uploads at Australian normal time that's 3 am everywhere else
In my contry is 1 pm(Eastern Europe)
@@callmepillo Didn't you mean 1am
I used to listen to FLAC on an old ipod classic with rockbox, it did well.
Im currently the sickest I’ve been in years, going through and marathoning your videos and I still can’t help but laugh, thanks man❤
I've become addicted to your videos.
Your just really entertaining, dude!
I love the wood back cover. It's like the old Woody station wagon of music players.
Someone should make custom wood backs for iPod classics.
@@richk6827 just thinking I could probably do that 🤔 but it would be complety done by hand so no cnc and stuff, I guess that would be to expensive to sell then
the newer and much cheaper colorfly c10, has the same style back.
Every time you say "dollarydoos" it cements my head canon that your TH-cam channel takes place in the Bluey universe.
Dank pods once again puts out excellent content, brilliant work mate
Why is my volume silent?
*turns it up to 100%*
*CLAP*
ow
And so, it’s confirmed, DankPods listens to Gorillaz. Another reason why I live this guy
it’s been a year and i haven’t noticed that i misspelt “love” as “live” until now…oh well !! too late ::}
I'd love to hear your comparisons with this against an ipod 5.5 gen, since that's well-known for being the last wolfson ipod. There's also mods for them that involve messing with capacitors and resistors in the ipod's output circuitry and I'm curious how well they improve the sound
Wow seeing the amount of capacitors that thing has, no wonder it could not only drive 300 ohm headphones but also give great sound
