Looking for a nice amp for my 4G iPod & UM1

[davsmiths 0]

Ok, so I got a Go-Vibe 5s with my iPod and it sounds great.

However, I need a small IC as it doesnt come with any.

Tried the custom ICs at Jaben, two out of 4 were solid but for $65, I just couldn't part with my money.

 

Will be going down to Stero to try their shorter ICs.

 

The Go-Vibe is much bigger, I just wished it could be smaller...

Hi everyone. I'm currently using an iPod Touch with an iBasso T1. Unfortunately the two devices are connected via the headphone jack from my Touch. So I was thinking of purchasing a line-out dock (am I using the correct term?) Roughly how much would this line-out dock cost? And I see some people refer to something called IC. Is this the same as a line-out dock?

The iPod LOD, i got it from Jaben at $25 not a bad price.

 

Considering it's selling USD $30-$39 w/o shipping.

Once you get the iPod LOD, you can then purchase an IC.

 

Alternatively, you could get the cables with the iPod dock connector on the IC already, in which you just plug the cable to your amp directly.

 

You can check our Stereo Electronics or Jaben.

Great, thanks for the reply!

You're welcome.

 

An IC basically is a mini male 3.5mm - mini male 3.5mm.

It really does makes a difference to the sound coming out from your amp.

 

But whether you feel that it's worth the $$ spent is another decision to make.

For the iPod touch you gotta check if the LOD for iPod works on it too.

itouch works with Ipod LOD (same pin out)~

 

just that the iphone is problematic (i think?)

I finally got my first portable set-up.

 

Go-Vibe v5s with a nice DIY cable. Not bad except for the bulk.

 

My UM1 does get distortion when the volume of the amp is too high. What's the cause of this?

You can try Go-Vibe Petite+DAC headphone amp next. Much smaller, good SQ.

with regards to a line out dock on a ipod touch, make sure the dock connector itself is sturdy and strong. my dock's connection is slightly loose so when i climb stairs with it in my pocket the connection may be lost for a second...
