Pictures of Your Portable Rig (part XVI)

In the end you are probably right bro but I like to MYTHbust, think of it like this

Apple put that awesome dac in the ipod video because it was more entertainment based (watching videos/movies) and they accidentally made an awesome music player

But... The first gen itouch which came very shortly after the 5.5 was even more entertainment based (so you see my interest now?)

More than likely apple had some kind of a contract deal with wolfson so a high end dac would probably cost about the same to manufacture as a crappy one, you know they're goal was only to improve

So I went ahead and sent my 5.5 out for an internal Imod and also bought a 32gb 1st gen itouch in mint condition.

I will construct a very honest and detailed comparison between an IMOD 5.5, a regular unmoded 5.5, a 4th gen itouch 64gb, and a 1st gen itouch. All will use line out, same amp/switches, same cans, same exact music files, same LOD cable

I know the itouch has better wiring and circuitry than any ipod video, ... This shall be EPIC

Everyone says the 1st itouch sounds like crap but c'mon man REALLY!? Why would any other itouch sound better?

You are aware that the imod 5.5 needs an LOD with capacitors in, right?  If not your amp might explode!  (I don't actually know what happens when you don't use capacitors but am led to believe it's bad

)  Using the capacitor LOD with the non-modded ipods will make them sound slightly worse...

Yeah I'm having it done by audio minor. He's putting blackgate nx caps inside of it. You can fit internal caps no problem if you have the thick back plate and a cf card mod

I had two RWA imods a while back.
A 4th gen ipod photo and a 5.5gen imod with a 240gb hard drive (of course

)
 
The 4th gen sounded better so I kept it.
 
My 4th gen has Backgate capacitors, and the LOD (ALO) I used with the 5.5 had (well some other caps that I forgot the name of{elna?}).
 
Anyhow, I think it greatly depends on what caps will be used with your imod...
 
EDIT:  NEVERMIND!^

Hi Rudi0504,

[White Lotus]

Dat postage speed

I just received these as a review pair. What's the etiquette here? I searched for existing reviews, and you have already done one - it's great, by the way!

Do I post my own review in your thread, start a new one, or do it on the product page?

 

[H20Fidelity]

Arrh, I see. You create a review on the product page or create your own thread mate. Which ever you're comfortable with.
