DIY iPod DAC modding
Tuesday, December 25th, 2007
Here’s a great tutorial on how to make your iPod sound better by modding the analog data path after the Digital to Analog Converters. Basically, iPods are made to drive the shitty little white ear buds - not proper headphones like the ones in the picture. I do in fact own a couple of pairs of Grados. Some SR-225 for my computer and SR-80 for my iPod (they have a 1/8″ jack).
Basically, the mods involve replacing certain cheap components by some higher grade ones. While I haven’t tried this myself, I don’t have any difficulty believing that this makes a huge difference. I’d say go for it!
