Classic Line-Out problem

<< < (2/3) > >>

saratoga:
The classic has a quite low output impedance.  You are probably thinking of the iPod video.

bachankas:
I wrote somewhere that Classic has higher ouput impedance and can't drive heapdhones as well as Video, maybe wrong information.

Yes, thats backwards.  It the video that has the relatively poor headphone output.

bachankas:
I found a topic on head-fi saying "iPod Classic 7G can only be used with portable amp/DAC if you do not Rockbox. If you Rockbox, you can use portable amp but not portable DAC."

Maybe I'll check with some amps other than E1.

Yes thats correct.  The digital output on Apple devices is encrypted and cannot be used without their private keys.

From what you've said, this is a waste of time, as you will have no benefit from one.
