I was thinking about Sparkos or Burson V5s when I thought I only had to replace 1 op amp. Now that I know I need to replace all 3, I'm not so sure. :neutral_face: Perhaps I'll settle for the Burson V5i :relaxed:

yes, that clarifies things. thanks :v:

I want to try new op amps, but I only use the RCA outputs. Can I just switch op amp C, or do I need to to change A, B, and C? Can someone clarify this for me, cause the manual is a little confusing.

i've tried UBI files r867-r859, r708, r692, and r674 - same result as above.  can't seem to get past this stage in the install.  any thoughts?

got the drivers installed on windows 8, but now i'm getting the error below:       i get this error after loading the UBI file (r867 from here: http://builds.freemyipod.org/). when i try to boot rockbox to install the “rockbox-ipodclassic.zip” file i get this error. i'm also using...

having trouble installing on my 6.5th Gen 120GB Classic w/ Win8 Pro.  i've tried everything in the FAQ, but bootstrap keeps giving errors: cannot open DFU device   1. itunes closed and apple services stopped: apple mobile device, bonjour service, ipod service, intuneshelper (disabled from...

Quote:   ah, silly me.  i was under the impression that the imod bypassed the DAC, but that's obviously not the case.  

Quote:   ah, i see.  thanks for the clarification. Quote:   if you use the headphone/analog out, doesn't it route the signal through the ipod's internal DAC first?  unless, of course, you do the ipodmod with capacitors.  

Quote: i'm a little confused.  LOD cables work with Rockbox and i've read about users hooking up portable amps, like the leckerton UHA-6S.    but how come Rockbox won't work with the iAP devices mentioned?  my 2nd Gen Classic was made in 2008 and has USB audio output through the LOD...

thanks.  these should keep me busy for a while

Quote: thanks!  i don't read Swedish, but Google can translate for me.   i'll look into the high-end stuff later.  for now, i just wanna start making from basic cables for experience

Quote:   no, i'm not that brand-specific.  i'm just looking for an e-tailer that stocks everything i would need to make DIY cables/interconnects (wire, jacks, sleeving, connectors, solder, etc.)    

is there a one-stop shop (online retailer) to get everything needed to start building DIY cables (wire, jacks, connectors, good quality solder, etc.)?  i'd prefer an e-tailer in the US or Canada, but overseas is fine as long as they're reliable.  TIA
