I was not disappointed! The build quality is excellent and this adapter fits perfectly into the iPod. I used Tarkan’s adapter to perform this first hack : the famous iFlash adapter. The fall in prices of Compact Flash cards was the opportunity to have a nice mp3 flash player with 32 Gb of memory. I wanted very much to replace the hard disk with a memory card. But there are so many things we can do with the iPod 🙂 Some of the Rockbox features are great: FLAC Support, equalizer, cross fader, user-definable interface, and gapless playback. I can manually transfer songs without any additional software.

The first thing I did when I received my iPod was to install Rockbox. I bought the iPod because I discovered Rockbox ( the free software replacement for iPod, Iriver and other mp3 players. The quality of his workmanship was so good I invited him to write an article about it.Īfter spending many days looking for my mp3 player, I decided to buy the 30Gb 5.5g iPod but I did not want to use their propriety ITunes. I stumbled on one such thread where a gentleman by the name of Eric Guerizec from France had combined using my iFlash adaptor with his pursuit of audio fidelity. To maintain the quality that you are trying to achieve this means using bulky audio grade capacitors which would never fit inside the player, hencing leading to special docking connector, etc, etc, etc. Due to the presence of DC voltage on the output of the DAC this neccesitates the need for capacitors in-line.
While the concept is simple, execution is another matter – The player needs to be opened up and the DAC output needs to be wired to the nearest conveniant output connector, most people opting to use redundent pins on the docking ports. The concept is simple, bypass all the poor quality SMD components and feed the DAC (Digital to Analog Convertor) output directly in to an external high quality headphone amp. Amongst the modding audiophile community there is a small band of people who are after the best possible sound from their portable audio players.
