When you replace the hard drive with the iFlash adapter, you have enough space to fit two capacitors. The iFlash adapter is the solution to performing the audiophile hardware hack with internal caps. The disadvantage of this method is that there is not a good way of playing the iPod through the line-out without building a custom dock connector. The Black Gates have probably the best size to performance ratio. Usually, most of the head-fi’ers use a special cable with a pair of 47uF Black Gate capacitors. The aim of the diyMod is to run the audio out from the Wolfson DAC and bypass the “poor” onboard components. The author Joneeboi has done a very good and interesting job. I spent some serious time reading the Apple diyMod thread on the Head-Fi forum.

IPOD CLASSIC IFLASH QUAD MOD

This mod truly rocks : the user interface is smoother and there is no waiting normally caused by the hard drive. The first time, I used a faulty iPod to have a try and I broke the LCD screen, oops! So the second time, I took one’s time to open my iPod successfully.

Be careful not to damage the iPod when opening it. Installing the iFlash adapter and the CF card into the iPod is very easy. I bought a 32Gb CF card on eBay and it works great with the iFlash adapter. 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.

IPOD CLASSIC IFLASH QUAD INSTALL

The first thing I did when I received my iPod was to install Rockbox.

IPOD CLASSIC IFLASH QUAD SOFTWARE

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.

Let me know if you have any other questions, I love iPods.Amongst the modding audiophile community there is a small band of people who are after the best possible sound from their portable audio players. I see the auto-moderator is on your case today, I approved the post for you. Which btw - don't use the foam pad when installing with a 2000mah square battery.Ībsolutely don't pick up red-tape with a diameter under 10mm (which is what I use) - skinny tape doesn't make a functional difference, but it immediately divulges into a nightmare of tape stuck on tape stuck on tape stuck on tape stuck on tape.Īlso you just need a single 2" strip of 10mm on that battery.īoth adhesives are basically necessary & incredibly useful for working on iPod Mini's too. I recommend 1" Kapton tape, it works perfectly for securing the SD card in the iFlash Solo. You can certainly find waaaayyy better deals on those if you look for a minute or two. I do sell micro-SD to SD adapters for $0.25 here.Ībsolutely, here's some links to the adhesives I use: Kapton tape & 'red' double-side adhesive.
