Why does Apple make it so hard to backward engineer a better mousetrap. I'm starting to understand why some people avoid Apple like the plague.
NP...we're here to help each other
is the iFlash adapter available from the US or only available from Tarkan in UK?

Exactly.
BTW, is the iFlash adapter available from the US or only available from Tarkan in UK?
Hi guys, just came across this thread, great work on the SSD's, lots of helpful info.
OK, just to clarify, if anyone wants to have a portable solution with an internal amp you can fit a FiiO E5 PCB in there.
Not the greatest amp by any means but a very capable amp that can take high impedance phones.
If you do the CF mod you have plenty of room in there, just strip out the PCB, take off the unwanted connectors and bypass the input caps C2/8 with a couple of Elna Silmic II caps.
You can remove the input filters as well to further improve the sound. Use the ipod battery for power or stick the FiiO's to the back as well.
You do need to use a dremel to put the button holes in the rear casing but it's not too daunting a task.
After that you could put the output to the HP connector or use a LOD adapter.
Use Tarkan's, it's the best
The iFlash adapter can also be purchased in the US and Canada from iDemiGods. http://www.idemigods.com/iFlash_Video_iPod_Compact_Flash_Adapter_p/iflsh_v2.0.htm
^ Welcome the wizard who created the Capacitor-Fiio E5-Mod for iPod Video! As you can see, we have been talking about your creation behind your back
Please allow me to greet you with two questions:
1) Do you think your E5 mod can fit along with a SSD into an iPod Video 80GB?
Fitting a mSATA 1.8'' SSD along with a mSATA-ZIF adapter will be ideal (since ZIF SSD with >240GB is still very expensive currently). The following may work:
256GB Crucial M4 mSATA (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148613&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-_-pla-_-NA-_-NA) and this adapter (http://www.amazon.com/Micro-SATA-Cables-Adapter-Toshiba/dp/B009BA5JU6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1354716013&sr=8-1&keywords=msata+zif).
DockEllis in this thread (post#577 on page 39) got the above adapter to work with a 128GB Crucial M4 mSATA SSD in a 30GB 5.5gen, although he had heat issues.
2) Do you think your E5 mod hisses less than the stock headphone jack of iPod Video?
I could not find out if E5 hisses with balanced armature IEMs, but I am guessing your E5 mod should hiss less than the stock headphone jack. The following review said that Fiio E6 hisses, only at high volume, with Shure SE530 (119dB/mw and a 1kHz impedance of 36 ohms): http://www.head-fi.org/t/596482/the-sub-100-portable-amps-shootout-8-1-amps-compared
Thanks so much!

Thanks for the quick response!
Can I simply use a battery intended for the 30gig version? Are those 900mah batteries from ebay recommandable (in general)?
