Hi,
I am a very satisfied user of Piccolo and it is the MC step up of choice when playing vinyl. Now, with the growing use of music servers, I am looking at the HagUSB. Hooking up to a PC/notebook via USB and playing music through the various media players through the HagUSB and to one's existing DAC seem straight forward.
Before buying one, I would like to know if the HagUSB can connect directly to an ipod/iphone and still output digital to a DAC? It is assumed that the HagUSB is appropriately powered since we do not want to draw power from the ipod. I am not sure if the ipod outputs data via USB when playing music (probably not) and is there a way around it without mod to the ipod? Just thinking something like the Wadia i170 dock. Maybe Jim can comment? I think it would be a hit as we can do without a PC. Thanks
