first you have to go into system preferences > sound > and pick the sony pha 1

then you have to go into utilities > midi settings > and set the sony PHA-1 to 24/96

Thank you for your help

And I have already change to another USB port , the result is the same crackle sound very loud

Could be my is defect

FYI: just found this VERY NICE bag specially designed for the PHA-1.  Too bad it is Japanese only and I can't found it anywhere else online...

Is this device working with rockboxed iPod Classic?

This is a good question and I don't know. However, at this point I would guess no, as we all know how much Sony likes to give 3rd party support on their stuff...

My hope is that it is a strict hardware topic, where the Dac and that Apple decoder ic communicate with each other without any software interfering. In that case, it would probably work.

On the other hand, if you are right, my plans of a FLAC PHA1 Classic combination are doomed.

If I manage to sell my W10VtGs, I will probably try it myself

I do have an iPod Classic and planning on getting a PHA-1.  However, I don't plan on Rockboxing it as I need to use it with my car...  Otherwise I will be glad to test this for you.

BTW, is it possible to Rockbox the class 7th gen and get it back to default after Rockboxing?  I figured if I am going to get a PHA-1, I might just as well get a class for it, as I am too lazy to move my other classic from my car, and my touch is with my VERZA now.

It should be possible to rockbox it. At least I managed to rockbox some earlier version with 80gb.

I was thinking about getting a 160gb version for the PHA-1.

The 160gb version is the 7th gen classic, but the thing is that I don't intent to keep the Rockbox so I need a way to take it back to stock again after testing.  From the site they don't have a good way to do it for the 6th gen let alone the 7th...

FYI: I have a PHA-1 coming tomorrow, plus I just picked up a F806 to pair with it. This is going to be fun.

Well done! Have fun with it

About the Classic with Rockbox... the chances are high to brick it. That is also why I uninstalled Rockbox from my MA9. Unless it is a stable release I would not use it in a daily basis.

BTW, the Sony F806 and 807 supports FLAC by default. You might want to look into this if this is something interest you.

Has anyone paired the PHA-1 with Etymotic ER4s?  I'm using this combo right now and it's awesome.

Are you using iTunes?  Make sure iTunes volume is set to MAX.
