Is it possible to bypass the DAC of an MP3 player? I'm assuming that it isn't and if it is it's probably a lot of trouble and not worth the attempt.

I remember seeing something about a guy who was able to bypass his iphone's DAC with a camera kit, but it involved jailbreaking the iphone and I don't remember hearing you could do it on anything else.
It would probably just be easier to pick one up with a decent DAC in the first place.
