I get this from Fiio
 
 

  Dear Duy Dang ,

Thanks for your mail and support to FiiO!

Kindly inform you that, our amps E17, E12 and E11 have no ability to block DC offset from being amped.

We think if you connect your mod ipod to E11, E17 or E12, you will face the risk of damaging amplifier and your headphone. We don't suggest to do so.

If you have any other question, please feel free to contact us!
Have a nice day! ^_^

Best Regards,
FiiO Customer Service

Hmm, that's odd. Never had a problem with my iMod and E17 with no caps.

On the other hand, here is my setup lately due to the long drives.

Actually I'm confused too. I think may be the DC offset is not existed the output but maybe the Fiio customer service does not recommend for some dc offset existed in the input. If the DC offset is too large, maybe the amp cannot block the DC offset and make harm on the amp or the headphone.
 
Finally I will order Leckerton UHA-6S.MKII amp. It seems to be a great amp and it offers opamp rolling ability, which is very interesting.

Hi There,
Welcome to Head-Fi. Sorry about your wallet. 

 
The positive (longer) lead goes to the DAC, negative to the output.

Working on the 5.5 G
I lifted the caps on one of the Zcaps spot. I was wondering what Pin outs on the Wolfson Dac these two connect to.
I have seen a sloppy picture of the dac with 2 wires connected, but I can't tell wich pins to connect to.

Here's a download link to the WM8758 data sheet. See page 4 for a pin out. If I recall, it's LOUT2 and ROUT2. I don't have an iPod board in front of me, but I'm preeeeety sure that's correct. Verify with a multimeter though. I'll double check and update this post shortly

Thanks for the Info. I find the right channel is Right Pad. That is the one I lifted.

I just double checked this morning. Verified ROUT2 you need for the right pad. It's the second pin from left, on the side of the chip facing the "z" cap pads. Very small spot to solder but not impossible. Good luck!

Impressed with the sound of my Ipod video after this mod, I am currently using a Epiphany Acoustics EHP-O2 with it. No caps are needed with this great little amp.

5.5g DiyMod.
I might have made a mistake while soldering, and I also crossed the left and right channels.
I was going to ask. There is sound in the Headphone out, but it seems the Line Out Drive is not producing any sound. Are these two connected to the mod as the same line? Do they differ after or before the modifications?

The mod should only affect the line out. So if you've got no sound from the line out, something related to the modification is messed up. The sound from the headphone jack is not changed.

Can anyone recommend caps to fit within a 60gb case that are available in the UK.
 
I got some WIMA 4.7uf 63v caps and i cant fit them within the case.
 
Thanks for your help
