I'm assuming you've found stuff abour s1mp3 and seen links from
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_MP4/MTV_Player>

Seven months ago, I bought a cheap LCD-less 256MB MP3 player from Tesco.
Branded Technika, the same is available from Argos as "Ministry of
Sound" and I think also branded "Disgo". Sound quality was lacking - I
was also wondering if a hack could make it better.

The chip inside is an STMP3510 made by sigmatel. I found plenty of sales
info hyping the high quality obtainable from the chip - but no technical
info useful for hacking. I phoned them, and basically got the "we can
give you the information - but you'll have to sign an non-disclosure
agreement". Rats to that...

Hmmm, I think I'll go on another search...
