Hey all,

Today an odd question I am gonna ask.

I have iPod touch 4 32 GB. I am currently using HTC Desire X. It gets a little troublesome for me to carry both gadets. I carry IPod touch to listen to music.

So I am thinking to sell off my iPod touch 4. Will listen music in my mobile.

So wanted to know opinion of my fellow digitians about my move. Am I doing a right thing by selling it off and will my mobile be able to produce a great sound quality comparable to IPod touch or nothing can beat apple in this field.

Thank you for reading

Regards

Ipods have some really bad DACs, and the same can also be said about most cellphones. While I'm not familiar with the HTC phone's DAC, I found that my ipod touch 4's (64GB) audio quality was sub-par compared to my N8.

As long as you are satisfied with media performance on both, I don't see any point in keeping the ipod especially if it is an inconvenience :)
