media2368 0 Report post Posted December 4, 2006 Can this Crescendo be used to connect from any MP3 player to a headphone amp (e.g LDM+)? If not, how can I make use of this with a mp3 player? or it can only be used for a portable CD player with line out? Hope you guys can help me (a newbie). Thank you so much.

This is an interconnect, used to connect mp3 players and amps. So basically.. Headphone out => interconnect => LDM+ => earphones OR Line out => interconnect => LDM+ => earphones Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
media2368 0 Report post Posted December 4, 2006 Thanks for all the reply and advise. So it can be used on a headphone jack from any mp3 player -> headphone amp? I thought the headphone jack usually amplify a headphone, will it damage the amp if I connect it in this way? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't worry, a headphone jack -> headphone amp will not damage any headphone or earphone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sHaRkKaE 0 Report post Posted December 8, 2006 must say that the cresendo-i that i got really makes a difference from the usual jack. The sound is way clearer( after amping it that is). But the price is kinda steep for something that small Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zilk 0 Report post Posted December 8, 2006 Is there any difference in the sound quality for Crescendo and Crescendo-i? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tassardar_ 0 Report post Posted December 8, 2006 (edited) crescendo-i is made for the ipod The line out is better then the normal headphones out in the ipod unit but you will need an amp to control its volume. Crescendo is more for the normal mp3 players with no line out or creative players which uses the stereo jack type line out. Same cables just different purpose. I use the crescendo i with my ipod nano but i still think my zen vision line out is better Edited December 8, 2006 by tassardar_ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sHaRkKaE 0 Report post Posted December 8, 2006 using the line out allows you to use your ipod longer as it does not drain as fast due to the fact that the volume control is over at the amp. Would definitely love to hear the diff btwn the zen line out and the ipod line out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tassardar_ 0 Report post Posted December 9, 2006 Regarding the less batt drain, Im not sure if it drains less. The lineout blast the music at full str from the line out in both zen vision and ipod. You need an amp to actually control the volume. Personally I like the zen as i feel its is warmer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
