Silly question: does it work for regular iPod/iPhones?

I use a wadia170i Ipod dock for extracting digital into to my Audio-gd 19 dsp DAC, which works fine..
 
From what I understood not many ipod docks extract digital info..

If I remember correctly, they don't

Yes, the iTransport is the very first MFI iPod DAC, but now there are more and more development, especially portable DAC, that is Apple MFI.

*sigh* Why does Hong Kong Apple Store have such mediocre customer service, made me ditch my plan of getting a Classic as a DAP. 
 
Any thoughts of hooking an amp to the new iBasso DX50?

The DX50 has no optical out, only analog and coaxial.  Any analog amp should do a decent job, and the Headamp Pico Slim, Headstage Arrow, or even the JDS Labs C5 should do a decent job.

The wadia is a dock, not a dac..

Sorry, I meant a DD, but it is the first MFI DD never the less.

Hi,

Are there any limits in the MFI output?

The Sony PHA 1 just accepts 24bits 48khz not more from an iPod, while it can accept higher values from a PC usb input...

?

Thanks for listening...

 

[DrSheep]

That's normal.  iPads can do 24/96 I think but iPod/iPhones are only 16/48 and that's Apple's fault.

 

[TonyVier]

So it has no use to create 24bits/48khz alacs from hires files for iPod/PHA I playback? 16bits/48 will do just as well?

(just did some 24bits/96khz to 24/48khz conversions and noticed extra hiss in them when played on ipod touch)

No, it will just be down sampled from the iPod.
