Apple iPod nano (7th generation) Measurements

[yourmom210]

These are some measurements of the Apple iPod nano (7th gen) taken on a Topping E2X2 OTG via REW. The test suite was ripped from Golden Sound's REW test suite on Tidal (via an unnamed website, for convenience). The FLACs' bit depth and sample rates were verified via Spek before converting to 16-bit/44.1kHz ALAC and AAC for testing, though I only post the ALAC results here.

I've been enjoying this little DAP for the past year or so now, for some travel but also mostly around the house, as it's great for sleeping with. It doesn't disappoint, and powers my Sennheiser HD 600's pretty well! (Even with the "Acoustic" EQ profile that adds a nice bass shelf and corresponds to the headphone's measured response pretty well.)

FYI, this model has been measured before (discussed here), but I've otherwise struggled to find good measurements for it.
