curtdakota Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Ok basically i would like to know if i could use my Ipod as a stereo reciever and hitch it up to a home stereo amplifier, basically just eliminating the reciever portion.. which would mean my ipod would be doing the audio processing which i am fine with, it doesnt need to sound like a professional sound studio, i just want a loud desk setup on a very tight budget, which i why i dont want to buy a reciever, instead just an amp which will be alot cheaper then buying a reciever. i was thinking of something like http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=300-812 or http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=302-601 hitched it my ipod via a rca to 3.5mm adapter. or better yet can i just hitch it direct to my computer and use my computers sound card as processing?

SnowDrifter Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 You can definitely do that. Just get a 3.5mm->RCA adapter ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega5002 Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Yeah, a 3.5mm to rca should do the trick, usually comes with a digital camera if you purchase one. They only cost like $5 to $10,or a little more if you want high quality gold plated ones, which is what I use to hook up my 90's Kenwood HT Amplifier to my computer, and I use it on my ipod sometimes too. Your computer's soundcard will act as a DAC(which what receivers usually comes with), so you'll get better sound quality when you hook it up to an amplifer, especially if you have a good soundcard. 2003 Kia Sorento Team Subsonic LowsTeam Bassin' on a Budget2016 Rebuild Under Construction Best score: 150.2 at 40hz (3k, 2 Custom HDC3 15's) Usaci style(door open, in the kick) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
