Ipod classic - rockbox - its happening.
Quote: That's my only grumble really. Is this likely to be 'fixed' at any point or is it not possible / not being worked on? zeitfliesst, a a temporary alternative, I bought a cheap FM Transmitter on eBay that plugs into the 9v socket in my car and has a 3.5mm cable that connects to...- Mouseboy007

Ipod classic - rockbox - its happening.
I have a playlist that's 25'000 in size ... it's a dynamic playlist of all my music shuffled. That way I cycle through a good chunk of my music and surprise myself with some long forgotten gems. Of course, the flip side is I sometimes have to skip about 30 tracks in a row to get to a...- Mouseboy007

Ipod classic - rockbox - its happening.
I don't want to spam this thread with an irrelevant query - and I think this is relevant as I've read through all (so far) 47 pages. I wondered if someone could give me any advice regards iPod accessories for an iPod Classic 160gb (older, fat version) using Rockbox. I've currently got...- Mouseboy007

Quote: SPOT ON middachten! - Now I get it Regards your advice - do you know of something like the X2 that would be worth looking in to? I'd be happy to try the X2 but the Airport Express (although it has a USB port) only outputs through optical. Thanks for the info though...- Mouseboy007

Thanks for the reply ninjikiran, So with your comment: Quote: and earlier comment: Quote: So......Delta Sigma based DAC's such as the D1 reclock, BUT according to attenuated 3db's assertion Quote: ....the D1 DOESN'T reclock. I'm confused ...- Mouseboy007

Sorry ninjikiran - you lost me lol If you can dumb-it-down that'd help - in essence, are you saying that the D1 is an R-2R based design and as such would need something like attenuated 3db's Teralink X2 to reclock the jitter from the Airport Express (Optical) which might alter (improve)...- Mouseboy007

Following middachten's post above, I've ordered an OP249. Should have it in a week or so. I'll post how this goes and maybe a follow up post with the OpAmps and Tube combinations I have for reference. Anyway, regards JITTER and the TubeMagic I've read a few posts on other forums...- Mouseboy007

I recently bought a tube on eBay but I don't know what it is - in terms of manufacturer / quality / rarity etc - I can't seem to find it listed anywhere. Sounds good though! - Very warm and silky smooth treble. Anyone have any ideas? I tried to attach a picture but got a message back...- Mouseboy007

Hi Guys, I've so far swapped the stock chinese tube for 1x cryogenically frozen Russian 6N3P (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CRYO-SUPER-LIFE-6N3P-E-Hi-Fi-AUDIO-TUBE-2C51-5670-/300353336777?pt=UK_Consumer_VintageAudio_RL&hash=item45ee7435c9#ht_4674wt_1334).

Anyone know the difference between LME49720NA and LME49720HA. I can source an 'NA' one in the UK cheaply, but am struggling to find a HA - is there a sonic difference? Similarly, is the OPA2107 sonically the same as the OPA627 - again I've read a few things on these forums but don't really...- Mouseboy007

Quote: That would be fine. Since the D1 has a 0.25 inline fuse then any power cord / fuse combination should work fine. I had an old IEC cable with 13A fuse and it works a charm for me!- Mouseboy007

Quote: Actually I use my Receiver for a lot more than stereo music - I watch films and TV through it so not a total waste It's just for music I prefer a nice warm stereo sound, but don't have space/money for a stereo amp - not without getting rid of my movie surround sound! I...- Mouseboy007

WOW, I've just looked at the OPA627 here in the UK. It seems to be upwards of £25 ($40). I've found two OPA627's and am not sure of the difference between the AP and BP suffixes (except one is more money). http://uk.farnell.com/jsp/displayProduct.jsp?sku=1212318&CMP=e-2072-00001000...- Mouseboy007
