what is the best bluetooth speaker, balance of speed of connection, sound quality e.g. loud enough for outside, bass and of course tangara compatibility?]]> I'm escaping apple lock in

Just needs to be analog (I'll worry about a separate DAC later) and able to drive my current headphones:

• Hifiman Sudara (37 Ω, 94dB)
  
• Grado SR80X (38 Ω, 98dB)
  

The Sudara really benefits from extra drive power.

I may or may not use the amp with the Tangara but I definitely need it with my computer.

Thanks!]]>

I'll start! I have two 4th generation iPods, one's color and one's monochrome, both 20GB, from a few years ago when they weren't as hard to find on eBay for reasonable prices. The monochrome one unfortunately won't power on...  It's perhaps due to the third-party replacement battery I'm using, my color one is lucky enough to still have a working original battery so I didn't need to replace it, shame because I much prefer the monochrome one! I've been wanting to try swapping their batteries to see if it makes a difference, but last time I tried I couldn't get it unplugged so I gave up lol

I've never had any luck charging them over USB, but a few months ago I got a FireWire charger and it works perfectly, that seems to be a common thing for the 4th gens
