Ngl part of the draw to the iPod for me is the mods and the jank. It’s a fun project, you can make it your own. I’m not really doing it for cost effectiveness or reliability, the modding is the fun.
@Bug3ater24 ай бұрын
Yeah I completely understand that. I'm just making a video to show a modern cheaper player that can use rockbox. Since most of the rockbox ports are on older players

There's a lot of great DAPs nowadays but my issue is that they're mostly android based and I just don't like that, there's still some very decent ones like this one or if you want something more like an Ipod nano I really like my Hidizs AP80 pro

Just so people know this same player is sold under different names like Surfans F20 or AIGO Eros, AGPTek H3, just with a different case and body so I encourage people to look up the different models and choose the one who they think looks the best because IMO the Hifi Walker H2 looks kinda ugly.
@LiamsManual2 ай бұрын
I def agree. Only reason I spent 100+ dollars modding my iPod (not to mention the 100$ I spent on IEMS) was because it was my Dads. The 5th gen U2 edition, I was sad to see it go to waste collecting dust in the garage. Definitly not the "best" way to get portable lossless audio, but definitely the best on an emotional level.

The thing I wonder about lesser known products like these is how hard will they be to fix in 5-10 years. Like if the battery goes bad will there be replacement parts? That's the nice thing about ipods, there's a large community supporting them.
@Bug3ater22 ай бұрын
Good point honestly. The amount of aftermarket support does really help iPods last longer and work more efficiently than they were ever made to
@CruelboypurpleАй бұрын
These are a bitch to open since they weren't made to do so and I'm p sure they require a heat gun but when on sale you can find them very cheap, like 80 USD so honestly if you end up really liking it buying a new one as a replacement down the line isn't bad but there's also tons of others DAPs just they may not be compatible with Rockbox
@SeaMeatGeezerАй бұрын
Could you make a video showing how you got rockbox onto the HIFI walker H2? I seem to be having trouble. The utility software will not detect the device, and when I try to copy everything onto the SD manually. It doesn’t complete the firmware update. Would be very helpful,though I understand if not, thanks.

123.00 is entry level for the DAP market these days. Brands like Fiio, iBasso, Cowon, Cayin, xDuoo, Astell&Kern, Hiby, Shanling and others make DAPs at that price and above 3000.00 in some cases. Some have duel micro SD slots and some have one slot but can handle 1 TB or more. All of them have bluetooth, wifi, touch screens, every format you want, better sound quality and power, and ability to stream as well. If you want a dedicated player just for music, I would look else where than modifying and old iPod.

@@Bug3ater2 I have nothing against mechanical wheels as a concept, I like them just fine on my Sansas, I just feel like this one is either poorly made or mine's just somewhat broken. (Also, my player is the old version with MicroUSB, but that's no biggie, I still keep those cables around.)

iPod is great, you wouldn't get the same feeling of the iPod using anything else (maybe the fiio x5 1st gen) especially the 5.5th gen video, modding is easy as well. But I wouldn't go buy a iPod for the flipped up prices they are selling them nowadays. If you really want an iPod I would suggest going through your local thrift stores first. But for the price of the hifi walker h2 you could get something better by Hiby or Fiio by saving just a little bit more

I suspect the amount of power it would need could offset the usability (before the price even comes into play) , but it's very possible that a music handheld could have a Micron 2TB 2400 or similar in it if someone designed one with it.
@richardsinclair76614 ай бұрын
Your frustration is heavily misguided. Storage isn't the issue. It's the amount of RAM needed to index through all of those songs. Mods to turn old iPods into multi-TB players have existed for years, but the achilles heal with them is that they don't have enough RAM to work smoothly. Also, can you imagine navigating large libraries with the buttons on the device? No thanks. My hand is cramping up just thinking about it.
@XX-1214 ай бұрын
you just need a TB micro sd card. i know the astrell & kern dap's can use them but those are really expensive players. the H2 is rated to handle 256GB cards but i have a 400GB in mine and it works fine.

The original OS supports BT but if you want to use BT with rockbox it hasn't been implemented and considering how slow is development for it nowadays I wouldn't hold my breath. Probably better to look for a different player, there's other options out there if you search for DAPs (Digital Audio Player)

You know, when I first saw this player years ago it was between 65-80$ straight from china, never botherd about it because the company doesn´t give me the Fiio vibe and more of the making $ vibe. If you want something good which doesn´t need a bunch of modding you should be on the lookout when Fiio lunches something sadly they always sell out quickly and not gonna be reproduced. The Fiio X1 V2 (even the first version blew any iPod away) for just 100$ when it came out had everything you wanted: iPod style, better amp capable of easily handling up to 80 Ohm headphones and bluetooth, CPU was a bit slow but for 100$? Oh, and you had to buy your own micro-sd because it didn´t had internal storage but still, that was awsome.
