Re: How to get a digital signal out of an iPod

Rocker, your friend wants something like one of these: http://www.futureshop.co.uk/audioquest- ... ZcrWLgaydg.
Not something I've tried, but this type of implementation is supposed to make a big improvement in sound quality.

Re: USB Regen from Uptone Audio

With more than a couple of hundred hours on the USB Regen since my last post at end Nov 2015 it is difficult to discern much more of an improvement.

Re: Power Inspired AC Regenerator

LiFePOs would provide 90% of their current at their working voltage of 3.3 - 3.2V and then be recharged off-line. Maybe no n...

Re: Has TIR NA gone into abeyance?

I joined Tir Na HiFi yesterday, but had been a guest for approx 2 years! The site is very educational and the anti-trolling stance saves valuable time. MQN and various types of advice on building/ powering computers interests me. I had not joined before because my laptop is too old to join in the MQ...
