iPod Modification Ideas

Thats what i meant. use the analog line out and an analog to digital chip then digital to analog in an outboard setup. Using the best chips possible.

That makes no sense. What exactly would the point be?
reid:
Taking the analog signal and trying to properly convert it. So what could you use to make the signal better without touching the internals?
soap:
Ignoring the faulty logic that A1->D->A2 can possibly be better than A1....
What exactly is the problem with the analog signal coming out of the line-out port of the iPods?
For that matter - do you know what the problem with the analog signal coming out of the headphone jack is? I'll offer you a hint - the problem - if it is a problem for you - isn't in the D-->A stage of the equation.

Think this through more carefully. You're proposing to take an analog signal and "properly convert it" to analog. This doesn't make logical sense, the signal is already analog, so the best you can possibly do is leave it alone. Running it through another set of conversions compounds the noise in the signal with noise in the converters.

At present, nothing. Someday it might be possible to use an external DAC via USB, but I don't see that happening soon, and probably ever unless you're going to make it happen since it'd be an odd thing to do.
