Received a SoundDock 10 as a gift from a client.... is there any way to link a DAC to this thing? omg, so much boomy bass.
I was thinking it would perhaps bypass the internal DSP. The thing is growing on me a bit. I have some 8020 Genelecs with the matching sub on my desk at home and the comparison is actually not terrible, but I think my son is getting an early xmas gift. He just started undergrad so he'll be thrilled.
Thanks obo.
I've seen pics of the woofer on this thing, and the surround is huge, so it muse have a huge throw. It sounds like a mini JL sub. Resisted the urge to keep it as a gym device. Have just sent my son an email and he's expecting me to overnight it to Palo Alto.
It bypasses the internal D/A but it might take LOD from the ipod to begin with. Any downstream from that is probably the same since it will use the same gain and tone adjustment sections and equivalent attenutation. It may be placement related that it sounds better, or you've beaten an iPod for signal quality. You aren't bypassing the speaker or its housing and that filtering.
