found this on the head-fi forums. A smart bunny opened up a new ipod classic to determine if the layout/DAC is the same as the 5.5g.

Hope this helps any devs who might be willing to port rockbox to the new ipods. He seems to know what he's talking about as it's all gibberish to me.

No it is pretty much just all nonsense. Such is the way of the head-fi poster.

Its just an information screen. Its hackable in the sense that the rest of the firmware is hackable.

What part of it do you consider nonsense? It's not helpful to anyone looking to create a rockbox port, I agree... but what is your reasoning behind calling it nonsense?

All of it, aside from the chip label number.

Its not helpful to anyone ever. Its just a lot of self important speculation dressed up with big words. Theres no information in there whatsoever.
gnychis:
i don't even see any big words involved. DAC? CODEC? caps? voltage? these are big words?
I'm just saying, theres no need to call it nonsense. Someone opened it up, and reported what they saw. It's more than us "guessing" what's underneath the box. We aren't discussing the sound quality, we're discussing the hardware. The information is not useful to rockbox, but it's useful to others. You can call it non-helpful, but to call it nonsense is dumb.
