    i nvr got anything

    oh i thought i replied....i guess i didnt since its still in "draft" mode

    i think yours is scheduled to go out today. If you still want a refund i can do that but i need the last name that was used on the order and the approx date. I dont know why you guys keep placing orders only to ask for a refund before you get it. Its your money, and it hasnt shipped so i really dont care......just sucks to waste my time dealing with your refund while i have all these orders that have to go out. :shrug:

    cory bird on july 20th...and i do want it but things came up...no use for it if i dont have a car with a system in it

    i asked this before but it wasnt answered...for people who use ipods only, can u just copy the cd to your ipod and use the dd-1 to set the gains by using the ipod??...or does it HAVE TO be with the test disc?..i ask because an ipod is usually louder than a cd and if u set your gains with a cd and then swap to an ipod, the gains wouldnt be set properly for that device, right??

    Fyerbyrd22 I think I can answer this one. But someone else please chime in if I am correct.

    I believe from what I could gather, the best method to use would be to use the most often used form. So if you used your ipod 99% of the time to listen to your music in your car, then rip the songs off the disk and put em on your ipod, and use your ipod to tune it, if you listen to CD's 99% of the time then use the CD to tune it.

    I gather that the CD is just to provide the exact clean, non clipped, tones for tuning.

    But someone feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

    I don't think it would matter which way you do it. Because either way you are setting your gains to the MAX they can be w/o any distortion. But I think i see what your saying.. so if anyone else wants to throw in some input on this do so.

    It would depending upon the media player used. If you set it though CD, you'll be using "0db" (don't know if this is the correct terminology, but bear with me). When you rip it to your computer, you'll have some losses due to compression. When you transfer to your iPod, if you connect through the headphone jack, the iPod may boost the output by a few DB.

    It does make a difference. Will the difference be large enough to cause you a problem? Likely not. Set your gains by the method you most often listen to music.

    you need to set it with the media player that is most often used, regardless. i set it through my cd player, and played through my ipod and it caused some major issues. yes you're setting it to the max to not clip...through that specific media player that you set it through. setting it from a cd player is not necessarily set to play through an ipod.

    so i was correct, that since i never use my cd on the hu, i should burn the disc to my ipod and use that to set my gains??
