What was the issue?

OK Jason, time to switch to decaf. On a happier note, I live in Redondo and was thinking of replacing my open headphones, which are Senn 650s. [I switch to closed Mr. S alpha primes when the wife and kids are awake]. I wanted to come in for a listen, compare and hopefully purchase. Question - I...

I store only 16/44 and 24/96 FLAC files on the Wireless Plus and stream them to my iPad using the following apps: 8-Player, AcePlayer and Remote File Browser Pro. I dont like the way the sort by metadata, so I just browse by file folders. I listen to albums, and use 01-song title, 02-song title...

I went back to my iPad mini from the iPhone 5 (both iOS7) because I'm &^#% old and cant read the small type on the iPhone while I'm driving. I have not had any 24/96 stuttering probems with the following setup: Seagate Wireless Plus > iPad mini > 8Player app > Lightning CCK > powered hub >...

My iPhone 5 (iOS7) is connected to a Seagate Wireless Plus that is in my car's armrest (about 1 foot from the phone) and to the audio equipment by way of the lightning to USB Camera Adapter (aka CCK). I've tried three different FLAC apps so far on 24/96 files with the following results:  ...

Are the FLAC files stored on the iPod, or are you streaming them via wifi?

I'm using the apple lightning to USB Camera Adapter (still using the old CCK shorthand) and then an Audioquest USB cable from the CCK to the USB/SPDIF http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD821ZM/A/lightning-to-usb-camera-adapter?fnode=45...

Jazzman7 - thanks for the info on the CCK (from a few days ago)   I am now able to use my iPhone 5 (iOS7) with the CCK. My set up is for my car, and being able to just plug the CCK into the phone is very handy. No more iPad. FWIW, my set up, which is working great with only a very occasional...

Has anybody tried to connect an iPhone (running iOS7) to a DAC or USB/SPDIF device (with or without a powered hub) via the Apple Camera Connector Kit? The CCK did not work with the iPhone with iOS6 and there were rumors that it would with iOS7.

Quick Update   The Musical Fidelity V-Link II (up to 24/96) works with the following two set-ups that provide additional power, but did not work without additional power.   iPad mini (iOS 6.1.3) > CCK > Powered USB hub (Plugable 4 port USB 2.0 with USB 1.1 charging) > V-Link > coax cable...

Quote: Thanks for doing all of that additional work.   I will be using the iPad mini in my car and the music (about 550MB of 16/44 and 24/96 FLAC) is stored on a Seagate Wireless Plus that creates its own wifi that the iPad can connect to. It works great. The Wireless plus can be...

Quote: Interesting info. Do you know of a similar set-up with a non-jailbroken iPad mini or iPad4 running the latest iOS? I ask because the key may be the jailbreak, the use of an older iPad w/out a lightning connector, and/or an older iOS, instead of the CCK from CN.   Also, FWIW, it...

Quick updates - also posted on http://www.head-fi.org/t/507559/list-of-dacs-that-work-with-ipad/690   (1) The Matrix USB-SPDIF (24/96) coax out WORKS with the following set up: iPad mini > CCK > Matrix USB-SPDIF. No additional power is needed, although it also works with a powered hub or the...

Quick updates   (1) The Matrix USB-SPDIF (24/96) coax out WORKS with the following set up: iPad mini > CCK > Matrix USB-SPDIF. No additional power is needed, although it also works with a powered hub or the UNITECH Y-cable. I cant really tell if the iPad mini charges (or even discharges...

My iPad mini is sill refusing to talk to my M2Tech hiFace2 and Matrix X-SPDIF (both XMOS). I've now tried a near infinite number of powered and unpowered hubs (including the Unitech), alone and in series with one another. No luck. I do not get the "too much power" warning, but I also do not get...

Quote: Thraex - Thanks. You've been a big help on this thread and others. I'm trying to adapt some of your ideas in the mobile/headphone space to mobile/automobile. In this case, the goal is to get 16/44 and 24/96 FLAC from a Seagate Wireless Plus to the coax iput of a car-based processor...

Quote: You are not the only one.   Has anyone been able to use the hiFace2 with an iPad mini (iOS 6.1.3) ? I have been trying to get the HiFace2 to work with an iPad mini for two weeks, including loading updated firmware after I informed M2Tech about the iOS 6.1.3 20 mA issue. With...

My files are stored on a Seagate Wireless Plus HDD that is connected to iPad mini (DLNA) via the HDD's built in wifi. All of the files are FLAC (16/44 and 24/96). I've tried both 8Player and Remote File Browser, same thing. No luck. The iPad mini > CCK > powered USB DAC works, with or without a...

Quote: What iOS version are you running on the iPad mini?

Quote: FWIW - I just bought an iPad mini (6.1.3 out of the box). My m2Tech hi Face 2 USB/SPDIF will not work with an unpowered hub, a powered hub or no hub (iPad mini > cck > hub > HiFace2 > DACmini coax input). However, iPad mini > cck > powered hub > DACmini usb input works fine.

Thanks rosters. I plan to use a Seagate Wireless and IPad in my car.

Quote: Can you use FLAC Player to play files NOT stored on the iPad via wifi?

This seems like a nice summary of streaming apps: http://blog.dreamcss.com/iphone/dlna-streaming-apps-for-iphone/

Generally speaking, this is a great product. The biggest problem is that the SeagateMedia app only supports file types that are native to the associated device. In my case, I cannot use the Seagate app to play FLAC files on my iPhone5. This is only a minor inconvenience because there are many...

Are using the Apple camera connector kit (CCK)? I've read that you need that to get actual 24/96 out of the iPad. Unfortunately, my iPhone5 does not support the CCK, and I dont know about the iPod.   I am also using the Seagate Wireless Plus. I have about 500 GB of FLAC on their. Whenever I...
