  my one and only iPod is long gone.  I regret that I actually bought the docking cradle made by Wadia.  It extracted the files on the hard drive and bypassed the Apple DAC .  It was truly a great product, worked as advertised, but hey they still were mp3 files, and who wanted to haul the iPod out of gym bag anyway?  I probably used it 3 times and then donated it to a thrift shop.

  Anyway, if anyone actually knows if the iPod did Bluetooth, please chime in.  And if it did do bt, it was probably the first BT codec, which sounds awful.

OP, use your phone as a source into a BT receiver, you will be much happier 

So if I am using the Yamaha s301  what inputs and out puts do i use for the Bose Equalizer since there is no pre amp in/out RCA jacks. I also assume that when using the Audioengine B1 that optical out to optical in on Yamaha is used.

Thanks

Thanks for your help. Did not go far enough in owners manual to actually see a diagram for the back. Appreciate your help

 

@martyswerve Good luck & listening with the new set-up. 👍😃

Remember, being a type of omni speaker, the 901s’ prefer an unclutted space behind them for their full ’soundstage’.....and you ought to have enough watts available for said listening.

....I do remember with mine, of years gone by, could absorb everything my Marantz 2270 could deliver to the point of making the pilot lights dim with the bass line. It was noted to me at the time you could throw a kilowatt at them; was never able to test that since they played ’loud enough’ for me. *L*

Bose later marketed a ’stage version’, turning them 180 so the back faced the audience. Never tried that.... ;)

Using your cell v. iPod would allow you to opt for streaming various sources, and apps aplenty to futz about with as well. *G*

Enjoy...J
