    How can I bypass the ipod DAC?

    Please help: Is there a cable (or device) that allows us to bypass the DAC part of the ipod and get digital outs in the form of USB or S/PDIF connectors? I do not know why it would make a difference but we are using rockbox. Very grateful for your help.

    Better USB/DAC than Total Bithead for under $200?

    I like the total bithead, I just want to make sure it's the best choice before I get one. I cannot spend more than $200. I also have an EMU 0404 USB. Portability is not a huge issue, but preferred. I've spent so much time going through these forums but mainly the DAC/AMP review threads...

    Has anyone tried the Futuresonics FS1's?

    Trying this thread again, since they've been out for awhile now. I have the EM3's and I really like them.

    Hi everyone, just to point out that The Grateful Dead have pulled 1000 soundboard shows from the live music archive (www.archive.org), lovingly patched, remastered, shared, built and uploaded by volunteers from all over the world, I guess because they are hoping to sell them now.

    Opinions on voice recording with a DAP?

    My purpose is recording lectures that will be archived. I've been dealing with minidiscs for the last six years, but I live in India, it is extremely humid here and they 1) go bad and 2) fail too often to rely on them and 3) are not compatible with Macs (except the new $300 HiMds). I do love the...
