How Can I Use MY IPOD For a Music Source?
I use my IPOD thru a dock plugged into the line out. Sound was pretty good until recently I purchased some upgraded cables, here on audiogone, and it really made a difference. I did an A/B comparison of "Jazz At The Pawnshop" with a CD and played thru my IPOD (lossless format) and the SQ was really close. The IPOD is great for causal listening and parties and the sound is more than acceptable. My Opinion.... |
I just got the Sonus wireless system. PC to wireless....and using TosLink to my hi end DAC (DCC2). Far, far, far better than using an IPOD as a source, and I also have used the Audioline Out Jena cable (which is great for using w/ portable amps/IPOD on the go). Its not even close. Resolution, smooth everything. The difference is startling and I guess it should be given the DAC in the IPOD would be no match for the DCC2. If you already have a good DAC or CD player with a TOS link input, I strongly recommend it. |
Friends have asked about an iPod-based system for a different part of the house. What I was thinking about for them is a pair of the wonderful NHT M-00's, which are powered speakers, and some kind of easy dock for them to place their iPods in. Would something like www.keyspan.com/products/av/avdock/homepage.spml>this from Keystone work for this application? The remote would actually be a very good feature for them. |
