RCD 510 Dynaudio and iPod!
« on: 27 September 2009, 11:16 »
Dynaudio is fantastic with CD and radio - not tried memory card yet ... But, with iPod linked up the sound is not as good.... Noticably thinner sounding! My iPod is set to eq off, volme about three quarters and all of my music is downloaded at a high bit rate!!

Is this common? I have a B and W zepplin at home to play my iPod throgh and it sounds great!

I have also tried two iPods with same music at same settings and it is just the same?!!

What to do???

My ipod and dynaudio sounds excellent, so guess you must have a setting wrong or dodgy connection  :sad:

Doh! I'm lost, what is this EQ you speak of? I've the RCD510+dynaudio and for me it sounds superb and by the way Rolfe the screen is not that huge!!.  But i've not discovered EQ please enlighten the uninitiated.

I agree with AlanH try your equaliser on the ipod. This has been covered in other forums and the equaliser seems to be at the root of it.
