best ipod for rockbox

<< < (4/4)

TexasRockbox:
I experience lack-of-bass-issues with 16ohm loads.  I have much less problems with 32ohms and higher.  With 16ohm I find myself using the bass control which uses more power, leads to distortion with other tracks, and so on.

I use Sennheiser PX-100 which are 32ohm.  These headphones tend to be a bit bass heavy anyway so it works well in this situation to counteract the expected bass rolloff from the iPod electronics.

iPod 5.5G 80GB Vorbis Rockbox r17588

Walrus:
Just out of curiosity...is the 80 gb 5.5G ipod still the largest-capacity player supported by rockbox? 

Eventually my 5.5 gig is going to epic fail and since the 160 GB ipod exists, I know I'm going to want one, since I could almost fill it twice over, but it's going to kill me to give up rockbox.  Is there anything comperable size-wise yet or is no one bothering to compete with Apple anymore?

Out of the box yes, but you can upgrade others - for instance I have a 120 GB hard drive in my gigabeat S (which well not fully supported yet is well on the way).

Edit:  I did of course forget the old Archos units, some of which take PATA 2.5" drives, so have a maximum of 250 GB currently, although they play MP3 (and wav via a plugin) only, and using more than 137 GB is a little awkward.

If you're interested in high impedance headphones, consider getting the Sennheiser HD 25-1. Their impedance is 70 Ohm, they sound great and you can wear them for days, without having a headache. great stuff
