That black wire seems to have an exposed core that's awfully close to a cap. Hope that's held down real well.

I should be getting some cf cards soon so I'll be able to play again.. when I get some time too.. hmpf.
been a bit busy, but it should even out soon

I checked mine (while sticking in my 16 GB Adata card
) and that's a really small space. If the existing caps are indeed 100 uF and I do a replacement, that wouldn't be an improvement, would it? On the other hand, if I add caps, without removing the existing ones... but the lack of space is then even more of a problem. Of course, the other option is to pull the same caps of a dead mini board and stack them in.
On that note, I was listening to my 4th gen iPod and a 2nd gen mini (both stock audio path). I can't tell the difference between the two. Now either it's my choice in music, my PX100 headphones, or just me. But does anyone actually hear a difference between them?
BTW, joneeboi, I checked the chips in the mini's I've seen and I can confirm that the 1st gen uses a WM8731 while the 2nd gen uses a WM8711. (You might want to update your first post
) But I don't think there's much difference between the two.
