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.
How Can I Use MY IPOD For a Music Source?
I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the best avenue is for putting together a high-end system (speakers, amp, etc...) but running my music data off an IPOD? Is there a converter to take the info from the IPOD to the amp? I tried using a monster RCA connector from my IPOD into my Classe' CP-45 preamp and it was limited on the output. I've recently sold all of my equipment and looking to put a new system together and would like to use my IPOD as the main data base for my music. Thanks for any suggestions you might have.

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. |
I bought the similar Kensington Stereo Dock for both my daughters and it works really well for the situation you're describing. The Keyspan dock looks even better, though, with a better range of controls on the remote and the use of RF for the remote instead of infrared. I found the Kensington on sale for less than $30 and at that price it was a bargain. |
