iOS 24/96 Output Possible?

@ted_b - Yeah you can use any copy of iTunes to transfer FLACs through USB sharing, doesn't have to be the same computer you normally sync to, and can be Mac or PC.

 

Obviously you'll connect the USB cable. When the device appears in the sidebar, click it and then hit the apps tab. You can still transfer files over, just don't hit the Sync button.

 

@sasaki - Great news on the 192

 

@Gregor - No I have no plans to develop an Android version.

DAC. Haven't sat down for a serious listen, but FLAC files play perfectly in 16/44, 24/96 and 24/192 so far. Nice! I am not hugely surprised in that the Antelope Plus (and Gold) is a Class 2 USB DAC that plays nicely with MAC, Linux (Voyage MPD) and now iPad.

 

So, stupid question no 2:

Can you use another remote like an iTouch to somehow remotely handle the playback (since the iPad is tethered to a 1M USb cable-to-DAC)?

Hi everyone,

 

after reading this and other threads regarding iOS digital audio output I bought an M2Tech Young and an iPad 2. Unfortuntely they don't interact and M2Tech support says no firmware update is going to fix it. It's a matter of the USB chip employed. Can anyone shed some information on what to look for when searching for a suitable DAC?

 

Thanks

M,

 

You should have read the thread better. Only true USB Audio Class devices will work with the iPad. Units that require device drivers cannot work with any of the IOS devices.

 

Send it back and get one of the others that have this capability.

 

Thanks

What about the Fostex HP-P1?

Have anybody tried it with iPad>Flac Player?

Hi,

I was wondering, with an iPhone 3GS and iPad 2 in combinatiom with a Cambridge ID100 dock which bypasses built in DAC and passes untouched DIGITAL signal onto my DAC and amplifier would I be able, if I buy your app for 1 of my devices (which one?) to play 24bit/96KHz natively confirmed? I can't really make up the answer from the thread.. Thanks!!

 

Because upon till now, iTunes only syncs 24bit/48KHz at most.. Higher sample rates are rejected.. But even the 24bit/48KHz are downsampled somewhere down the line when playing?

 

EDIT: Just found out that when using Home Sharing with iTunes I'm able to stream 24/96 files and play them.. Just don't know if this will natively output when docked to ID100?

 

EDIT2: Using the FLAC-player app I played some songs, all encoded 24bit/96KHz, with my iPhone 3GS (5.0.1) docked to a Cambridge ID100 dock with Digital Out hooked up to a DacMagic which showed a 48KHz received signal.. Will the be fixed in the future or is this hardware related?

Hi, You can not get hirez data from such a device.

Only iPad+CCK works to get hirez data.
