i tot its only design for ipod classic and newer version? not going to work for ipod 5.5th gen below... someone at head-fi tried it and the ipod goes shuffle....

but man.... rm1.5k++? was thinking of having custom 1st..... now this came up...

nope.... i was thinking of miracle from UM.

is the ALO USB LOD comes with the DAC or we have to buy it separately?

cool... doing some calculations.....

Yeap. I do think i read it at head-fi. I wonder what it'll do to my iphone. Seriously thinking of having this or going custom. Cant decide.

later i eat sand sand for dinner....

now i cant get enough of this thing....

this is one hell of an addiction stuff man....

done.... pics?


thnks to i_djoel2000

sure... but u must come here lah... i cant make it to the Jaben gath on the 1st May...

for ipod video and iphone 4: i cant compare them.... my ipod video went haywire everytime i tried connecting it with ipod video... ive read that u can connect to ipod video but it'll turn to ipod shuffle... and i rockbox my ipod video anyways...


as for comparism with stepdance.... im not sure what is the question is since CLAS itself is a DAC for idevice...

lets put it this way:
iphone 4+stepdance+CK1100 = soundstange feels big, music separation are more distinctive, bass are tight and punchier, alot of details opening up and can be heard clearly.

iphone 4+CLAS+Stepdance+CK100 = soundstage feel humongous, instrument separation are way-way better in terms of tightness and imaging. bass are tighter than stepdance alone combo. The detail of the songs is what makes this CLAS so freaking beast. i mean i could hear alot of things i thought i couldnt with stepdance, but as i listen to the most of the song, my jaw dropped because on the insane detail that have in that recording that i did not notice (or barely notice) was there.... its really clean all the way... mono will sound sweeter and more live like than stepdance alone.

that's roughly what i can say about the combination...

im not sure since ken(ALO Audio) and vinnie (RWA) a bit reluctant to give the full info about the internals, so i dont know how to compare... beside im not good at schematics reading lol..

honestly speaking.. this is the 1st DAC i tried. and i like it.

so cant give any thoughts about other DAC.

i wont say it turns a bad mp3 sounds to good.... but listenable enough.

i agreed. other people define bad sound in their own terms. so to sum up, in my inexperience time listening to the CLAS, bad recordings will be bad no matter how good ur setup is, even with CLAS but undeniably its listenable compare with pairing with amp or no amp at all...

U took the words out of my mouth.

ahh.. i was at shah alam the whole day....

will drop by today i guess...

u already got the LOD? i cant make it last week lar.... anyways... how does it sound?

if u put on the basket it'll vibrate like hell lar...... supposedly it shouldnt do that... or should?

cleaner, more refine sound and those 128kbps mp3s can sound pretty good because of the reclocking thingie plus pairing with a good amp will sound oh -so-good-you-have-to-listen-it-to-yourself-to-judge-it kindda feeling....

some say this is better than the imod minus the bulkyness of it lah...

i use CLAS with stepdance and the soundstage is MASSIVE! instrument separation also improve alot than just with stepdance alone...
first time i listen it together with stepdance at jaben wowed me and i bought it after 10 minutes of listening to it....

sort of..... its either this or samyang fisheye lens....
