It had the same box, appeareance, model number, part number, everything. To investigate why it didn't sound right, I looked around.
I've given it several days and tried to like it, but the new sound has more trade offs than gains. I noticed within 20 seconds of music that this new iPod had inferior sound (lacking soundstage, detail and tonal balance). I recently bought a new iPod to replace my old faulty one. you are lucky as you have a good ipod and 2.0.5 will offer you nothing. i believe this change happened sometime between 20. because the actual hardware is different, the software is not compatible. they did a ghost release of a inter-generational downgrade which has inferior hardware, and is able to run 2.0.5. you have the original or 2nd revision 6th generation, which can only use 2.0.4.
TLDR they downgraded the audio circuitry within this 6th 'generation', to save money. Thought I'd post here for anyone else interested.
