Personally, i don't let any compressed music on either of my power books.

I should have said lossy format... i still need to find a USB or Firewire DAC i can listen to (and afford) to get it out.

Can be made here easily.

Well Dave, if you come to the show, we should have those Twisted Pear DACs with USB to try. I sure will give it a go with my laptop...
I think the whole setup is $200 with power supply . They are balanced output though...

Ity seems that you can use an iPod to just store data, right?
Could you run a USB DAC off of the iPod, playing lossless files, bypassing the iPod DAC?

Greggeek would love to go, but has no funds
(spent all the "petty cash" going to Victoria)

I'd really love to come! I could bring my DCX2496 modified with the remote level/ offset control, and if I can finish in time, my new error correction / zero global feedback power amp.
Would love to hear you guys' comments!

Hi Geek,
I'm trying to make it down. Don't know if I can yet, but it would have been good to meet you in person.

Hey Jan,

and if I can finish in time, my new error correction / zero global feedback power amp.

I'd really love to hear that, can I look under the hood?

Yes, a lot of my clients consider an iPod to be a "portable USB back-up drive" so that they can claim as a business expense.

As i understand it there are 2 classes of USB devices... lets call them master & slave (i can't remember the official terms). An iPod is a slave & a USB DAC needs to connect to a master.

It would be nice if Apple added a digital out to the iPos and even better if it was IS2 and no SPDIF as on the computers.
