a couple DD-1 questions

[fyerbyrd22]

i jus got the DD-1 and i gotta few questions

1) since i NEVER listen to cd's, i wanna burn the cd to my ipod, correct?

2) what eq setting should i have my ipod on??...should the volume on my ipod be all the way up??

3) why am i to use a -0dB track to check the headunit but when i actually set my gains, i get the choice of -5, -10, or -15??...why wouldnt i use the same track i choose for my gain setting for my headunit??

4) i saw this somewhere but i cant find it...do i set everything up with or without speaker wires hooked up??...i saw it did make a difference, i think

5) on Pioneer decks, there is a loudness setting...where do i set that?

1) since i NEVER listen to cd's, i wanna burn the cd to my ipod, correct? thats fine, use lossless if you can

2) what eq setting should i have my ipod on??...should the volume on my ipod be all the way up?? flat, volume should be 1 click down from max

3) why am i to use a -0dB track to check the headunit but when i actually set my gains, i get the choice of -5, -10, or -15??...why wouldnt i use the same track i choose for my gain setting for my headunit?? You check max undistorted headunit volume with 0db, to set gain you use a quieter track because its closer to the loudness of music. 0db is the loudest a track can be, so -5db to -10db is a good average for music.

4) i saw this somewhere but i cant find it...do i set everything up with or without speaker wires hooked up??...i saw it did make a difference, i think i turn the HPF on headunit as high as i can set it so my stock speakers can handle the 40hz note, if you have the option, disconnect all speakers so all thats connected are RCAs and the DD-1 probes.

5) on Pioneer decks, there is a loudness setting...where do i set that? always leave that off

you want to be using the bottom USB ipod connection, the headphone jack will not produce good quality music because the Ipods DAC blows monkey balls. When you connect using USB it bypasses the Ipods DAC and uses the headunits

loudness adds signal boost to all notes, it will distort the signal. use full clean volume with loudness off

flat and off are the same on ipod
