How to connect iPod/iPad to HiFi?

[johnny333]

I've got an older Yamaha DSP A1 & would like to connect an iPod/iPad to it . The A1 was manufactured before iPods was introduced, so there's no docking capability.

Anyone have suggestion on how best to connect an iPod/iPad
Where in Spore did you get the necessary cables, etc

The A1 has the following input options:

The DSP-A1's rear panel has an extensive jack field capable of accommodating 3 coaxial digital and 5 optical digital sources as well as an RF input for an AC-3 ready LD Player. Additional 5.1 channel discrete inputs are also provided for use with external decoder. The unit has a total of 11 inputs, 5 audio, 6 video. All video inputs have provision for S-Video. 1 optical digital output is also provided.

Bro, now there are alot of new good amps can be connected to your Ipod.
These are 5 star ranking amps and they cost less than $500.
I suggest you read What's Hifi magazine for references. This is a good British Hi Fi magazine that's loyally followed by Hifi enthusiasts.

A waste to discard the DSP A1 since I paid $3,000 for it:(

That doesn't include the 2 floor standing Jamo speakers,& the 2 rear Monitor Audio speakers Even my cables cost a few hundred each

Interesting solution. I was looking at the Onkyo /Apple dock which provides a line output. However currently this solution does not support the iPad.

Anyone know if the iPod & iPad docking connectors are similar?

I was young and had money back then & wanted to buy a decent system before I got old & hard of hearing

The Pioneer DVD player cost me $950, Got me a Tjoeb CD player from Holland. It was a modified Marantz player which was modded to include valves for a warmer sound.

I was looking at those cute mobile systems that has built-in iPod docking. I forgot that I had already had a decent HiFi system

Better yet is the GQ-25Ag which uses a silver cable rather than copper
However it's more costly.

Cheaper version of the solution provided by bro Microsoft which uses the more expensive British Kimber Cable. The L10 must be a new product since the 2 Spore distributors don't carry it yet.

For Hi Fi solutions don't forget about Adelphi. It's still "the" place for the expensive hardware.

I've seen the Onkyo docking products being sold there.
