Works with my old note 3 as well
So, I just bought my own CEntrance DAC/amp, (and Sennheiser HD600s, oh yeah) and I really want to connect it to my Ipod nano, which is the newest generation (7th gen). I see people on here doing it with their iPhones and iPads, but I was wondering if anyone knew if that would work with my Nano. And how would I do it?
Oh, I didn't know that the 8th gen came out, lol. But yeah, thanks so much, and I'll definitely let you know if it goes well.
Hi, moedawg140
I saw you also posted th-x00 review, can you be so kind to comment on comparison of these headphones with dacport slim and with grace m9xx. I really don't wish to spend 5 times more money for grace, but as I understand m9xx output resistance is 0.08ohm and dacport slim have 1ohm which make it worse synergy with th-x00.. But is it really much worse details/noise/soundstage? Really need your suggestion. Thanks in advance.
CEntrance has officially released their latest firmware update (Rev. 7.9.5) which is supposed to run flawlessly on Windows 10 http://www.centrance.com/downloads/ud/
Hope this helps.
I received my DACport Slim about a week ago with the intent to use it at work. Tested it at home first and it worked flawlessly. Unfortunately my laptop at work has issues with music playback when stressing the CPU with other tasks. I'd hoped the USB rather than onboard DAC would alleviate the issues, but it did not. Audio was still skipping when closing large Chrome tabs down and booting virtual machines.
Next alternative was to use my HTC M8 with the DACport. Though it worked, the audio had very brief interruptions every 10-15 seconds. I now blame this on my Lollipop 5.0 ROM but didn't want to go through the hassle of upgrading to Marshmallow. Final alternative was blowing the dust off my Nexus 7 2013 tablet (Android 6.0) and using that with the DACport. Total success. No chopping, loud clear audio, and with a Y-cable off Amazon the DACport is being powered and the Nexus 7 is being charged via external power.
I had a lot of issues on my work laptop with skipping on different DACs. I finally fixed it by using Foobar 2000 and setting the buffer length to something farily high (at least 6000 ms). Stuttering was almost completely gone after that, only happens extremely rarely when I'm doing a ton of stuff at once.
This is sacrilege I know, but I do most of my playback via Google Music. Good tip though, I'll try it for local albums.
