Audio Capacitor Bypass (the DiyMod)

(1/1)

graemehh:
Does anyone have experience of the Audio Capacitor Bypass mod for a 5th gen. iPod (sometime referred to as the DiyMod)?

Does it make any difference to the audio output quality via the 30-pin connector and is it worth doing?

saratoga:
The older ipods had small dc blocking caps, so if you used low impedance headphones you'd lose some of the bass. If you're in that situation, upgrading the caps will improve the low frequency output. If you're using high impedance it won't make much difference.

A lot of the other mods out there are nonsense though. Not sure which one you're asking about.
