So strange results here. Did some RMAA testing on various portables I have access to. My old Android phone basically tied with the Nano for response curve. Mini g2 and 5.5 G both have rolled off bass (Mini worse than 5.5 G). My present Android had a wacky curve. The 7G is basically similar or...

I wonder if I just got a bit of a dud unit. Does anyone else with a stock 5.5 have mild line noise. I doubt getting a 7G will help much... people seem to say that the solid state ipods tend to be better than the classics in general (probably because they've continued development, whereas the 7g...

I'll give that a try and report back if that helps. There's most definitely a drop in detail (and not just bass) from the Nano 6G to iPod 5.5 G stock (at least the specific one I'm using).

I'm at a loss about what's supposed to be so good about the 5/5.5 G iPod quality. I have a 6th gen ipod Nano and it sounds significantly better. Richer, fuller sound (esp. in midrange and lower treble) and more definition (esp. on more subtle notes). The 5.5G that I got for this project seems to...

Hey, thanks for th reply. What's the nature of the heat issue on msata? I've read other places, people seem to be using them without issue... is it just a spacing issue/making sure to keep the foam spacers so it isn't moving around, or is it actually a voltage issue. mSata drives I see seem to...

Hi, new here. I've tried to read through this thread, but there's a lot so can someone please some up for me concisely what the benefits are for CF vs SD vs mSSD on a 5/5.5G ipod classic? It would seem to me that mSSD would be the most reliable and longest lifespan. If I'm not planning on...
