#3 003 for me ken!

Hehehe, looks like a preorder list has started accidentally. But guys, please feel free to join in. I figure the more sign up we have, the sooner we will get it.

This solution might even be enough to get me to buy an iPod. So far I've resisted assimilation by the iTunes BORG commune. Flac is my game. But if ALO/GR9 get the go-ahead from Apple, then Apple gets a customer they never would have had otherwise. Surely they will see the light (how could they resist getting a guaranteed ONE new customer by saying "yes"?) LMAO

Hey Ken,
Assuming the transport/DAC comes to fruition, what type of connectors does it use. More specifically could the digital input for the transport work in home, non-moble rigs as well, (like with a computer)?

Thanks

 

[imademymark]

hi ken just to clarify, does the g8 tap the digital out allowing the user to use any dac or does it include a dac?

 

[Rico67]

I'm not in the secret, but if you can directely drive the RX with the GR9 line out, it must include an internal dac.

Maybe, someting to bypass it 'll be a +.

 

[imademymark]

I did read that part, but I do hope there is someway to use our own dac though, possibly through a coax/ usb output which would be awesome

Ken,

Please put me down for 1 and any other wires I'll need to get this running.

Thanks

John

John it is not for pre-order or anything yet according to what Ken is saying a sister company is the one making it though Ken may be selling it through his site? Just was looking out for you because it seems writing on here isn't promising a unit or anything like that as of yet.

It will def. have a internal dac but I could see some sort of circuitry to be put in place that could allow you to send the signal to a port instead of to the internal dac board. Time will tell but I don't know if there is enough demand for that to get Ken to include it.

I just skimmed the thread. This sounds like something I have been waiting years for. I have the MSB one for home (similar to the Wadia) I wonder if MSB went through Apple for permission. Something tells me no, as it was not mass produced... and it also requires a hack to your I-pod

 

[wsilvio]

This really sounds interesting!

Prob not then

I have been waiting a while as well and I actually imagined this product exactly as the g9 is supposedly meant to work in my head months ago. I am glad to see it is being pursued now.

 

[BlackStarPUA]

i would like to know how to connect the whole setup actually?

ipod->lod->g9->Rx->headphone ?

or

ipod->g9->Rx-> headphone ?

how the g9 connect with the ipod? does the g9 have a 3.5mm input or something else? what's the difference between g9 and lod?
