Hi

 

Is it possible to go from line out on the iPod classic to the DAC in the Fiio E7 and from there also amplify the signal?

 

Thanks for the help.

As far as I know, no, you can't. You can only use the LOD to use the E7's amp. You'll need to spend a lot more money to override the iPod's DAC (use the Fostex HP-P1, etc.).

So it is possible to do my combi, but you wouldn't say it is a good idea?

also a Fiio E11 would be cheaper and better. Im waiting on a L3 and an L9 to hook my classic up to my MIU DIY MC1. Bypassing the ipod headphone amp is always good, unless you want portability.
