iLink Performance - How does it sound?The iLink provides your DAC with a bit-perfect data stream that is identical to that from a good CD transport. Here is how it works: The data is exactly the same on the iPod as on the CD. In our award winning CD player, we read the data from the CD and store it in a half second memory. Then we read it back out using an ultra-precise clock which forms the data stream used to send the data and the clock to the DAC. In the iLink we do the same thing. We use the same memory, clock and output circuits to send the same data to the DAC. The DAC does not know the difference. How does it sound? Simply the way it is supposed to. Better than a CD Player?
iPod is a registered trademark of Apple Computer. The iPod upgrade is not approved by Apple and voids Apple’s warranty. The iLink provides no function with non-upgraded iPods. In September 2007 Apple released 6th generation iPod Videos, a new 80 GB and 160 GB model. We have adequate stock of 5th generation 80 GB iPods and will continue to offer them as well as offer upgrades to that model until the engineering for the 6th generation has been completed, sometime in 2008. The iLink is expected to be compatible with the new iPods.
