I've been thinking about buying one of these to replace my aging iPod with the monochrome screen. I like to have a color display, and I actually do put photos on it. I also might buy a second one for my folks. They'd use it with an old dock on their patio. Anyone know if the sound or DAC is any different on the photo model?
Got a tip for us?

Wolfson's are supposed to sound the best. Here's one from the vault:

Excellent article. Would love to see an updated one.
There’s no doubt pods and phones have improved as they’ve moved along.
I have a number of shuffles (including 1st, 2nd, and last) and there’s a huge difference between the 1st and 3rd gen. Also still have the squat nano and that’s an improvement over the shuffles. Just got a 6th gen touch and there’s a little improvement.
Have had phones 3GS, 4s, 6S+, and Max. All significantly improved as they went along.
I don't think you understand what I'm trying to say.
This is the iPod Photo. it's a 4th gen Classic with a color display, but there are a few differences on how it's wired up. I've found conflicting reports as to whether the sound hardware changed at all between the two models.

So I went for a rabbit hole....
This is what I found...
