Very helpful, i'll go have look of the diyMOD thread. Many thanks!!

I'm seriously considering diymod my ipod video 5.5g as i have some confidence about my soldering now, i got two of them and they've been lying in my drawer for quite a few month. now i can say i have a basic knowledge of how to mod the lineout of ipod video, there are many tutorial about this...

try govibe sharps, great design(esp. the red model), just a little bit bigger than ipod classic. I would rate it 8/10 when bundled with my HD650. A bit out of ur price range though.

cant really open the link, can anybody forward it in this thread?
