Would this plug and play in my car just like an iPod?

pal51961For an iPod to plug and play in a car, the car has to be compatible with it. Ia your car compatible with a Cayin? 1 and ! make 2, do the math.

Pmtski45 I don't get what you're saying my car works fine with my iPod will it work the same way with this unit is my question . So I guess what you're saying is if it works with the iPod it will work with this unit correct ?

pal51961Your car has iPod compatibility built in to the Stereo/infotainment system. That's why it works with it. This is a completely different piece of equipment and more than likely will have to be sync'ed up with the bluetooth and use the unit to control songs, or through the line out feature plugged direct to the stereo. Does your car work with any other device? If so, you might get lucky.

Pmtski45 I have never tried it with any other device except my iPhone through the Bluetooth and of course that works seamlessly I think it would probably work through the Bluetooth if nothing else thanks for your help

pal51961that's correct. Bluetooth will work for sure as it is a standard protocol. Wired connection is hard to say as it largely depends on the actual car.

pal51961You would probably be better off plugging in via aux or using Bluetooth. My car has ipod compatibility and can read some USB sticks but definitely not this DAP.

pal51961N3 can work with your car audio system under the following scenarios: (1) Play music on N3 and Bluetooth to your car audio player (2) Connect N3 line out to the Aux input of your car, and control playback via a Bluetooth Remote control (not included in the package) (3) Some of the high-end automobile sound system has a dedicated digital processor, for that you can connect N3 to the digital processor via USB Audio or S/PDIF coaxial, both digital connections are available via the Type C connector at the bottom of the N3 player. Again you can control playback via a Bluetooth Remote control (not included in the package)
Please be reminded that you can't use Bluetooth remote control with N3 when you are using Bluetooth to connect N3 to your car audio system. The BT function of N3 is kind of single tasked.

You can export your iTune music to lossless music format such as AIFF, copy the music file to a TF/microSD card, insert into N3 and you are ready for playback.

pal51961In terms of sound quality N3 should be better due to its more advanced DAC chip and analog output design. I think most of people will agree that iPod was not designed with sound quality as the first priority.

Pmtski45What the hell are you talking about? EVERY DEVICE EVER has a 3.5mm headphone out jack. Are you with me so far? You usr an AUX cable abd pkug it into your car stereo. BAM! Compatable

SlowCousinPeteHe was talking about the car stereo being able to take over functions from the player. play/pause/ skip/forward/backward by the car stereo when the player is set up. 3.5mm just transfers the sound to the stereo.

Sennheiser PC37X randomly goes bad after disconnecting the cable ?

Greetings, Yesterday I was using my headset like normal with my macbook, just listening to music and on a call with people like usual, and the headset was perfectly fine. The stock wire that came with the headset is extremely long and yesterday it annoyed me very much that it kept getting tangled with itself, so I decided to see if the cable is replaceable. I pulled out the cable from the headset and saw the adapter, and looked online for a replacement. Upon plugging it back in, the audio sounded extremely muffled and washed out. Im not sure what I did wrong to make it mess up like that as I've always taken good care of it, ive had it for about 2 years and its always just been chilling on my desk, but anywho I thought the cable just went bad and ordered a replacement. The replacement came, and the issue is still persistant, so I am not sure what the issue is I've tried multiple different headsets and the issue is not with the port, and I also tried it with my windows laptop and...

Big changes coming to my tiny little music room, I've recently purchased a new stack. Currently figuring out where to locate it all and ordering up the necessary cables, it won't be too long before I'm up and running. I am now the proud owner of a brand new stack. It's a European brand called Earmen. Amp, DAC, Streamer & Linear Power Supply. It won't be long!

Recommendation for my next headphone set? I have Koss 95x

Hey all, What would you recommend I get next and why? I have Koss ESP-95x electrostatic massdrop headphones. These are my first and only audiophile set. I love them. I think my only real requirements is $500 or less for the headphones and that they have a little more low end. I don’t need thump but these are really light on lows…but the experience is still awesome. Also any recommendations on an amp? I only have my electrostatic thingy. I am using the Topping D50 DAC. thx!!

Should I exchange the PC38X for better headphones?

I bought the PC38X headphones FOR GAMING and they are great, but I have NO use for a Microphone since I don't do competitive gaming and I was wondering if there were better headphone options at a similar price without a headphone, where (presumably) more of the cost was put into making it sound better. I also find that my PC38X don't get quite as loud as I would like and I was wondering if a cheap amp like the iFi Go link would draw a little more volume out of my phones. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN6MM822?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I went with the PC38X since it was considered the best bang for buck headphones. I care most about using spatial apps like DOlby Atmos and DTS Headphone:X. Suggestions are welcome.
