Quote: OK, do you have the ebay auction link?  Most say they will only update data and power to the iPod, and many say they won't transfer audio.  This means most of the pins are not connected.  If you read the discription of the one in my post above yours, it seems most of the pins are...

After extensive searching I've found an iPod extender cable that may work with the Onkyo ND.    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120594482335&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT   It seems to have most (or all) of the 30 pins connected between the male and female ends.  (I have...

Does anyone know which pins are used in the connector to transfer the digtal and control sgnals?   I'm wondering if this would work: http://cgi.ebay.com/Dock-Extended-Cable-Cord-M-F-iPhone-3G-iPod-Touch-/200483715280?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Other_MP3_Player_Accessories&hash=item2eadc2b8d0  ...

Quote: Miguel,  Thank you for clarifying this.  Does this apply to RockBox playlists?   George

Quote:Originally Posted by Clarkmc2   I am afraid that I have purchased my XRCD's from a local hi fi shop that stocks music as a courtesy more than anything else. I have also heard that JVC has ceased production of new titles. While I can't verify that, it is probably true in this current...

Ok, I know that I shouldn't even ask this,  BUT has anyone tried their AKG K-1000 with the Protector?   I sold my K1K and I am looking for a low ser. no. unit at reasonable cost.  So I can't test it myself.   George

Quote: True, but the 6th and higher gen iPods can't be Rockboxed--so for me that is a show stopper.  I want Flac and specially the excellent digital equalizer in RB. George

Quote: Clark,  Thank you for the links re XRCD.  This is new to me.  Can you provide links to Japanese sources you have found reliable?  Anythng to beaware of?  BTW, what is "obi"? TIA,  George

Thank you Vennie, that's sobering.  Really takes the gloss off the ND-S1!    Having to remove and reinsert the 5.5 to select each item probably means that the connector would fail.   OR ......Does" all tracks" order mean that if I select the first track on an album, it will go ahead and...

Quote: Thank you AudioCats.  I was thinking that the SRM-001 amp had caps on the input.  Glad I found out otherwise! George  

Quote: Hi Jian,  I appreciate your willingness to try repeatedly to straighten me out, my daughters will tell you that most of the time it's needed!  Oh well, the problems of non-face to face communication.    If I do get the Onkyo transport I'll definitely let the forum know how it...

Quote: I don't kow your budget, but if you are patient you can pick one up on Audiogon for less.  I got one for 1100 in like-new shape it took 6+ months to do it though.   But I agree if all you want is a source selector then the Slim is not the way to go. George

Hi Jian,   I thought we were miscommunicating--just didn't understand how.   The problem is the word transport(er).  Yes the Wadia and the Onkyo are transports but what I have and was talking about is the Slim Devices (now Logitech) Transporter, a network music server.   See here:  ...

While your are there, check out the Dynaudio BM5a's.  They are available on ebay for ~600-650.  Be sure you take music you know very well.   George

Can someone tell me if I'm correct here, Please?   I need to build a new LOD from my DIY iMod to the SRM-001.  I don't need any caps because the 001UFC has blocking caps on the input--Right or Wrong?   TIA,   George
