I have now installed Rockbox 2.0 and flattened all the levels (actually I have bass, but I think my biggest mistake was my concern of turning the volume up that high. I have done as you said and my HiFi is now sounding great. > > There is a socket on the JB20 labelelled "digital in/out" > > ...so I plugged an optical cable into this socket to see > > if it would improve things (I suppose I am trying to > > bypass the internal amp).

But this digital in/out is not optical, it's electrical. >If you have no electrical digital in on your HiFi Amp, you'll need a >small electrical to optical converter box. Please ignore everything below this paragraph. I had a couple more Q's, but someone has just written a new FAQ entry, which answers everything I was going to ask. So this now just says "Thank You" to those who took a little of their time to help me :) BC -------------------------- What I *was* going to say -------------------------- Also to thank Linus here for a similar comment. My amp has several optical and coaxial inputs, but I only have RCA-RCA (Phono) coaxial cables. I have never heard of a 3.5mm coax cable before! (Yes, I live in a cave ;)) However, now that I know they exist, I have been completely unable to locate one. Does anyone know a place that sells these (3.5mm->RCA Coax) cables? Maybe in the UK, but anywhere that will ship to the UK will be great :) Last Question. I presume that the data stream from the coax socket is PCM? I suppose my question would be: Is the digital-out post or pre MP3 decoder? ...my amp does NOT do MP3 decompression :( ...I nearly bought one that did, but to get MP3 *and* good sound quality was too many £'s in the end :( Thanks guys :) BC >Andreas Stemmer Received on 2003-06-03 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
