Bob, to elaborate on your comment and link......
That mod is for the old HDD based iPod Classic. No need for such mods on newer iPods, iPads, iPhones that have the Lightning connector. That connector provides a digital output signal for driving an outboard DAC directly.
That's how I attach my iPhone or iPod Touch to my car's audio system. The other end of the Lightning cable has a USB plug which plugs into my car's USB port. The digital audio signal coming through the Lightning connector is fed to the car audio system's DAC directly..... completely bypassing the iDevice's internal DAC and analog stage.
Similarly there are headphones on the market that use the Lightning connector on the iDevice. Those headphones have their own built-in DACs.
