Hello,

I’m trying to reach the maximum of the sound source for my hifi system using an ipod.

I use an ipod 6rd Gen 120 Go, a Pure i20 dock (24 bits, 192 KHz), and ALAC 24b/96KHz files.

As I understand, the ipod  socket (30 PIN) send the audio signal from the ipod to the dock.

Thereafter, the i20 dock seems to send signal received to the DAC, convert it to analog,  then send the signal via RCA audio cables to my amp.

My question is very technical, but does the dock receive an analog signal (from PIN 3 and 4)  or a digital signal form the ipod ?

If it is a digital signal, do you known which PIN is used ? Can’t find reference ?

If it is the analog  signal, what is the DAC source as the DAC works on digital first ?

Tk’s in advance.

Seems not possible in ALAC, only AIFF possible (but too heavy) also Ipod send analog audio only. So i bought a IrDAC instead and full enjoiy 24/96, up to 24/192 now.Cost 400 € but sound better. I keep Pure+Ipod for everyday or mp3 musique
