Techmoan tests nostalgia with a Discman lookalike and an awkward wheel

Fosi Audio's CD player and iPod-inspired music player get very different verdicts in the week's only upload.

Things we can learn from the video

Press to jump

  1. 1:17Both players are free manufacturer review samples, disclosed with an on-screen notice.
  2. 4:02The DISC Nano gets a side-by-side comparison with Sony's vintage D-88 Discman.
  3. 6:05Testing reveals a small gap between adjoining tracks despite the CD player's advertised gapless playback.
  4. 12:48Further tests cover remote controls, audio-file compatibility and magnetic mounting.
  5. 20:00Browsing a large album library exposes the DAP Neo wheel's slow navigation and lack of tactile feedback.
  6. 25:05The DAP Neo sounds fine, but its interface prevents Techmoan from recommending it enthusiastically.

Looking like an iPod is one thing. Making a large music library easy to navigate is another, as Techmoan discovers in "Nostalgia Tech from Fosi Audio", which has reached about 302,000 views.

Both devices were supplied free by the manufacturer, a disclosure he puts plainly on screen. The DISC Nano borrows its styling from Sony's diminutive D-88 Discman, and he brings out the original for comparison. Bluetooth, optical output and adapter-free playback of mini CD singles give the modern version practical appeal. A tiny pause between adjoining tracks is the catch: its advertised gapless playback doesn't quite deliver.

The DAP Neo has the tougher appointment. Its metal shell and sound earn approval, but scrolling through albums exposes the difference between an iPod-like appearance and Apple's multifunction click wheel. Techmoan finds the interface frustrating, calling the player a "swing and a miss". A sound test involving Dyson's air-purifying headphones and a cat supplies a rather less conventional listening setup.

Viewers are discussing that gap between CD tracks, joking about the long album search and sharing reasons for keeping physical music. Some describe starting collections to avoid streaming; others point out that CDs never left their shelves.

Across the channel, daily views are running above their usual level, while subscribers were unchanged over the week. The older XGIMI projector review remains the busiest individual upload, drawing considerably more daily views than the new audio review. Rediffusion's woodgrain-era background-music system is also finding viewers, keeping the channel's particular combination of modern convenience and obsolete machinery nicely intact.

What viewers say

  • I'm so old, I still think of cds as modern tech.

  • Legend says he is still rotating that wheel searching for the album

  • My old Apple iPod Nano's power button stopped working so I stopped using it until I inherited my Dad's car. The car's music system was designed for use with Apple products and even included one of those elongated iPod connectors built in. As the iPod Nano automatically powers on when connected, my iPod Nano is back in regular use. What a result.
