 What phones are you using?

I have a mix right now: AKG 271 MKII, Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro (250 Ohm), and Sennheiser HD598.

No luck on the power supply front.

Volume question...It was mentioned earlier that the pure dock may or may not allow the ipod touch volume control to work.  In my case, I need it to work as I'm using an ipad with a remote app (tango) to control an ipod touch (including volume) connected to the system in the next room.   I have the pure on order, just want to know if I'll be able to use it as intended or have to come up with some other solution when it arrives.  Can someone who has the i-20 test the ipod touch volume? 
 
If this doesn't work, anyone know of a mid level DAC that comes with an RF remote (again, to control volume through walls) so I can adjust volume levels before it goes to a mix console? thanks

iPod Touch volume control does not work with the i20.  It does work with iPod Classics.

Here is a link for anyone looking for 7.5v regulated power supplies.

Scroll down for 7.5v.
 
I have not tested these but they should work with the right tip.
 
Enjoy.
Do!

Looks like a breakthrough product. Has anyone seen a recent review?

Got it. I am getting an I-20, late next week it should arrive. I should be able to provide a relative assessment of the quality of it's built in DAC.

any chance you could crack it open and tell me how much space is inside? i bet its pretty empty. i was thinking about taking my dremel to one and removing the dac section if possible (or if needed) and rehouse it with a battery supply in a smaller more portable case. probably about 50-100 worth of components, perhaps even see if i can find room in my dac. since it seems to be taking a while for someone to release something like the CLAS without the dac i might have to hack one myself and this is a cheap starting point, maybe end up with something for 150-200

Still no review yet on how well the i20's DAC scale against other DACs? Still holding off on buying one.

Sorry guys - work takes precedent, and I have been busy at work.  It may be a while before I get to this.

Oh ok no problem. Really look forward to it though!

Sorry, I still haven't received my i-20, and it's been nearly a month now. Stupid me, I decided to save $10 and get the slowest shipping. Now Canada Post is going on strike and I probably won't get the i-20 for another two weeks at least.
 
So no DAC comparisons for a while...

Why? You can use the digital out to pass thru to another DAC. The Cirrus one is good, but won't be as good as a commercial separate one like my DACMagic blows it away. It's going to be the cheapest most versatile digital out for an iOS device anywhere. I bought 2 so I can sell my Wadia.

Dan, I did the $20 shipping and got it here in BC in less than 5 days.

I meant I'm holding off on buying another DAC to upgrade from the i20's DAC. I want to see how well they compare to others and if it's necessary to upgrade from others without paying $200+. The DACMagic is nice but a little too much lol.

 

[Skylab]

Well, the only inexpensive DAC I have to compare the i20 to is the original uDAC. My other DACs are $900 and $2,000.

 

[roggae]

Im still of the opinion that its a pretty good dac for $99. The vdac which is $299 is much superior but much more $$. Even though the i20 works with the touch and iphone it is still susceptible to interference. I would say though its pretty minimal and does not disqualify it from beimg a worthy component.
