Use a Mac instead of an iPod as stereo system source
Authored by: kirkmc on Jul 06, '07 07:47:52AM

When you connect the iPod, do you connect it from the headphone jack? If you have the iPod running through a dock, the output is better. I do this often, and it sounds fine to me. Perhaps you have EQ on, or something else that's affecting the sound quality?

Use a Mac instead of an iPod as stereo system source

for what it's worth, I use an audio interface (a presonus firebox) with my MBP (i'm a musician) this drives the speakers even more (it's basically like an amplifier with how loud it is)

it's also capable of 24bit/96khz sound but i haven't been able to get up to 96000 without audible glitching so far, but that's another story (and hopefully a hint)....

What Kirk said -- make sure you're connecting via the iPod's dock-connector audio output, rather than the headphone jack.
