Can the iPod Classic be used with a USB-C DAC/AMP?
« on: June 03, 2024, 10:55:43 AM »
I have a QLS MUB1 DAC&AMP, and I found that its size matches the iPod Classic perfectly, so I tried to get someone to help me make a 30-pin to USC cable, but it doesn't seem to work. I'm not sure if the cable needs some special treatment or if some adjustments are needed on the DAC&AMP end?

cloud you please help me with it ?

Thanks

I just posted this answer to your post on Macrumors:

As I understand it, you can only get digital output from your iPod if the device you are connecting to has a dedicated Apple authentication chip. A few devices from the heyday of the iPod have this capability. That would only work with the Apple firmware and not with Rockbox.
