well there is LVCMOS low voltage i2s (3v3) , so its doable, but not likely

Yes but that wont be of any use if the iPhone (which seems the most likely thing) can't host a usb device. Now if the JH3-A was to incorporate the same circuits that the dock thingy that is being described in the ALO forum that would be a different thing all together (as I understand it the 2 devices are designed by the same person).

It's still possible that the iphone will host a USB device that doesn't need power i.e. has it's own battery ala Pico or JH3-A.  Hopefully someone can try a Pico w/DAC on an iPhone 4 soon.

BUMP!

This would be pretty big news in my book if an iphone could be used to feed digital to a portable DAC. iPhone 4 owners please try - enquiring minds want to know.

It will at the very least require the camera connection kit and that I'm not going to buy just to test as I don't believe that it will work, but it would indeed be cool if it turned out to do so

I'll give this a try was digging around for info. I have an old ALO Cryo Dock that is useless to me without an iPod. I do have an RSA Predator a USB to Mini USB cable, I'll need to stop at the store for a double female USB connector to see if it works with a regular Apple cable first.

 

I'll see if Micro Center has the camera connector to try it out before buying.

You'll also need to take apart the usb cable, supply the predator's end with 5 volts from an external powersupply.

 

Even then there's no guarantee it will work. Also, I take no responsibility for any broken gadgets.

Has anyone found a way to feed digital out to a uDac or other USB-input DAC?

 

cheers

what's funny about this problem is that it's the Iphones firmware that is causing the problem. If you read on in the Insanely Mac forums you'll see that a few other IPAD only devices are supported under iOS 4.2.1 but not the camera adapter or card reader.  Also some Ipad owners are running into problems with it as well. 

 There is a rumor of a hack to get these to work properly by modding a .plist file.  NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART! 

 

Apple is researching the problem and making a patch to get these to work.

Is the issue here the uDAC, or the fact that the OP tried to hook a caravan to a motorcycle, only to realise that you just dont do that ??
