Hi, my loyal Ipod broke, after some tests, I think I need to replace the logic board. It seems that I can still find it for about 50/60 euros. Is it a good idea ? The aftermarket logic boards provide the same quality or they mount fake dac ?
I've been reading about the fiio players, and I really dig into it. It seems that I would take a step forward in sound quality, but on the other hand I love the fact that the Ipod is a well established product, completely customisable (sw with rockbox and hw with all the aftermarket products).
For the fiio I couldn't even find a replacement battery, so I'll have to change it in one year or two I suppose...
And what about the firmware is it solid and well maintained ? How is it compared to rockbox ? (The it offer seems very limited for instance, are the frequencies of the 7 bands customisable ?)
The other big plus concerning my ipod was the 250GB disk I put in it, but since my music collection grew, I can't fit it anymore, so at this point 64/128 or 250 is pointless, I'll have to change my music from time to time.
So what do you suggest me ? try to sell the Ipod as it is or at least the 250GB HD and buy a fiio X1 or try to repair my ipod ?
Thank you!
