Does anyone knows what the “QL/A” stands for? I seems to remember that the iPod on firmware 2.0.5 being a QL/C but in can’t remember for sure.

In other words, while I am aiming to get an iPod with the 2.0.5 firmware, it seems virtually impossible to be absolutely sure what are you getting inside the box.ĭoes anyone know what serial numbers are comprised the iPods with 2.0.5 firmware.Īlso, the model of my wife’s iPod 2.0.4 is MC 297 QL/A. My wife’s iPod serial number starts and finishes with the exact number/letters, thus also being “late 2009” but with 2.0.4 firmware. I have been into a shop with an iPod on firmware 2.0.5 on display and the serial was 8K….ZU which by doing a search on Apple’s website, it was made late 2009. The problem is, not only Apple doesn’t let you upgrade 2.0.4 to 2.0.5 but they also do not print on the box what firmware comes with the iPod that’s inside.Īlso, most shops will not just unsealed the iPod for you to confirm what firmware are you “buying”. I want to buy one too but with firmware 2.0.5 were I can chose to remove the EU volume cap. My wife recently acquired an iPod classic 160 GB (MC297 – 2.0.4) and because of the volume cap imposed by EU, this it is not enough for me. I am posting here in case someone can enlighten me. The two softwares are incompatible - because the two hardwares are different.

The only difference - the serial number showed my old one was made in 2011 while this new one was made in 2013 - and the software on my old one would only update to 2.0.4 while the new one would go to 2.0.5. It had the same box, appeareance, model number, part number, everything. To investigate why it didn't sound right, I looked around. I've given it several days and tried to like it, but the new sound has more trade offs than gains. I noticed within 20 seconds of music that this new iPod had inferior sound (lacking soundstage, detail and tonal balance). I recently bought a new iPod to replace my old faulty one. you are lucky as you have a good ipod and 2.0.5 will offer you nothing.

i believe this change happened sometime between 20. because the actual hardware is different, the software is not compatible. they did a ghost release of a inter-generational downgrade which has inferior hardware, and is able to run 2.0.5. you have the original or 2nd revision 6th generation, which can only use 2.0.4. TLDR they downgraded the audio circuitry within this 6th 'generation', to save money. Thought I'd post here for anyone else interested.
