  There is no difference in Rockbox... In original firmware difference is in number of songs that you can sync....

 
Is there really no difference at all?  I would have expected the additional on-board memory to make some difference in performance - either a bigger buffer for playback or a faster/smoother database.
 
Certainly one of the things that's cool about Rockbox is that it means you don't have to pay a premium for a 7th gen motherboard, as any video or classic can take larger storage if you rockbox it.  I have a couple of refurbished 7th gens, but as they are rockboxed I slightly think I might as well have just gotten an older model for less.  I'm hoping they at least give slightly better battery life or something!

Yes 7th Gen give better battery life but I like sound of the 5.5th Gen iPod with Wolfson chip, sounds much better...

PNY 256GB SDXC is best buy at the moment... Everything works fine with that memory card...

Agreed, and get the Tarkan bundle to avoid any issues with the 256GB SDXC not working right with a CF-SD adapter.

Awesome! Thanks guys! Yeah, I plan on getting the Tarkan bundle!

That was an 80GB Gen. 5.5 model.

Ah... So, you have multiple modded iPods?!? Or did you get rid of the 30Gb one you mentioned earlier?!?

So, you have multiple modded iPods?!? 

 
I haven't counted exactly how many ipods I have but I am positive I have more than 10. All of them were modded for bypassing stock amp and storage. These ipods are the best toys I ever had since I was a little kid. 
 
My favorites are the one with a 256GB CF and a 2000mAh battery and the 1TB SSD loaded with more than 920GB's of music. They are awesome.

Yes I have 4 modded iPods:
an originally 80GB Gen. 5.5 now with 480GB mSATA
an originally 30GB Gen. 5.5 now with 256GB SDXC
an originally 80GB 6th Gen. now with 128GB SDXC
an originally 4GB iPod mini now with 128GB SDXC

Yeeees

I have slightly more than 'too many', but slightly less than 'enough'.

 

[DMinor]

  I have slightly more than 'too many', but slightly less than 'enough'.

 
I have way more than what I need but slightly less than what I want.  

 
Seriously, I use some of them for music backup and portable drives, thanks to rockbox.

 

[rgarjr]

I have a few iPods myself but really only use one.

Those that have 4 or more, why so many? Do you use them all?

 

[JOBAH]

I dont use them all of course, I will sell them.... I dont have lot of money and that is the only way to make 1TB iPod....

an originally 80GB Gen. 5.5 now with 480GB mSATA
an originally 30GB Gen. 5.5 now with 256GB SDXC
an originally 80GB 6th Gen. now with 128GB SDXC
an originally 4GB iPod mini now with 128GB SDXC

 
So, how does the performance compare between the 80->480Gb mSATA 5.5 Gen and the 30->256Gb SDXC 5.5 Gen ?!?! Navigation, playback, number of songs, etc... and are you using them on stock Apple OS, or are they RockBoxed?!?

Nice! Looks like fun! Yeah, I have a few myself, but all different models...
 
So, on your iVue, what amp is that paired with?!? and is that modded to be a digital out on the Fiio LOD?!?
 

  I have slightly more than 'too many', but slightly less than 'enough'.

 
That's exactly right!

Mine? Mine did not work out. Had a 30GB 5th Gen: put in a new battery; put in a new switch: put in the CF adapter & SD card. 

The new switch appears to be defective; sometimes the unit works OK; sometimes it gets wonky. Out goes the SSD; off to eBay

I would ask CMarti or Noodles666 if they have advice before giving up.  They and a few others at whizzes at this.
