Hi guys,

I just remembered that on my good'old iPhone 2G I used this volume hack to get more sound out of it. Now I began to worry about the sound of my iPhone 3G. I love everything about it but the sound in combo with the triple.fi's is just missing something. Now I recall 'unlocking' the volume cap on several Sony DAP's in the old days to improve SQ with significant results.

So I went around and had a go with the volume hack on the iPhone 3G and to my surprise the iPhone seems to drive my Triple.fi's way better now. Seperation is better, stereo imaging more defined, lows more pronounced and the highs more 'spikey'. There's just that depth and defenition I missed before the hack.

How do you guys think of the Volume hack? I also suspect that US models doen't have a Volume cap because in the old days only the EU models were capped, and resetting them to US or JP setting in some service menu removed the cap.

It's the same for iriver stock firmware h1x0/H3x0, as the European firmware had a volume cap. So just flash to US, or use a portable headphone amp and blast your eardrums.

lucky no volume cap for anywhere else... why on earth do they bother with it..

because we are all little kiddies and we need the authorities to look after us and our interests.

yeah if on low volume and on a DAP the TF10 doesnt really sound great until it is louder IMO.
