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

Responding from last to first---   Miguel:  You are right.  Vinnie can provide definitive answers to the iMod questions.  Wonder if he uses  Rockbox?  He'll check in sooner or later.   Haloxt:  Thank you for your kind offer of help.  I've checked utube--great videos for installing HD. ...

  Quote: Quote: Thank you grokit (like your avitar) and Jain,   Grokit:  Your first answer is very clear.  I've got an 80 gig rockboxed 5.5 ipod.  I'm on the cusp on whether to go through the hassles of upgrading the HD to 240 gig (easy) and then fussing with rockbox...

This sounds like the perfect complement to a portable system built around an iPod.  I've got two questions both of which apply to my iPod.   1.    Does the ND-S1 work with an iMod?  In my case a DYIiMod, but I think it's the same as the standard iMod.   2.     What a Rockboxed iPod...

Quote:   Ahem,  any player that can be rockboxed will have one of the best parametric equalizers available.     Maybe one of theSensa players with Rockbox would be a good choice. George  

Humm,  I don't have any inside info.  They still are making the phones so it could be a new amp only--not too big a project.   Given how HP have surged in the market, it makes sense that they wouldn't abandon this growing market to JHAudio.  Market share is very important in Japaneese business...

Hi All 001moders,   I bought an UFC+ modded unit from Questa and I just want to thank Audiocats and the others who contributed to the evolution.    This is amazing.  I have the JH13pro which are wonderful in their own right but right now I find myself choosing the 001UFC+.    Perhaps...

Further thoughts,   My recommendations for an amp should be checked out with others.  It sounds like you are satisfied with your headphones.  Are they full size?  How sensative are they?  i.e., how much power is required to drive them?  I think a portable/small amp will do it but that needs...

Hi Ol' Guy,    As they say, "Join the crowd"   Yep I'm cashing SS checks too and I have upper range hearing loss.  Two ideas:   1.  Switch from regular headphones to IEM's  (inner ear monitors).  I sold my AKG K1000 to buy custom it iem's and it was a world of difference (improvement). ...

Has anyone experimented with taking the balanced signal out of one of the better iPods?   i.e., directly after the dac of say the 5.5 iPod.   or is it too low a signal to use?   Just wondering if possible,  George

Damn!  I stumbled on this thread and now I'm back on the treadmill, maybe.  I had sold my K1000's (which I loved) to buy the JH13's which I very much love.   With the K1K's the base was just ok (later ser #).  I remember fondly the top end of the AMT speakers--for speakers the issue always was...
