Ipod quality?

hi
which dac that allow for direct direct digital connection.
do you have the onkyo model # that also connect digitally

So... ipod can actually sound good at home? I never tried becuase of the poor sq in the car.

What I mean by poor sq compared to cd is... it sounds compressed and lacks bass. Not that cd are all that... but they sound better in my situation.

I'm using a direct in ipod cable , not the usb adaptor. I'm not sure if the Alpine processes or the ipod...

Yup, an iPod can sound extremely good if done right. I use the Naim DAC with Apple Lossless files, and "how sweet it is". I understand some people's thoughts on Apple, but both OSX and iOS devices sound excellent when setup right and connected to good DACs. The iPad allows for "USB Digital Out" with the Apple "Camera Connection Kit". I'm not sure the iPhone works though.

The Naim DAC has a special cable that allows the raw digital signal. It is one sweet DAC. ;)

I fixed my problem in my vehicle audio system.... I picked up a Nakamichi CASSETTE TAPE with am/fm. TD-400

I SOUNDS WONDERFUL!!! CDs make good frisbees...
