Running off iPod Photo ripped in MP3 at IIRC 192k sitting on an Apple iPod dock. SB would have had an identical source file.

The iPod was recharged overnight. Maybe i'm hearing a loose connection now its been replaced on the dock. The purchased 3.5mm jack lead should be adequate for the job. Never tried iPod through G68 - always used SB for that. Im sure the iPod is the weak link - maybe its another SB instead of the Meridian iPod link.
Ian, don't IPods have optical output (Mini-Toslink)?

I assume the F80 has a few digital inputs and possibly a Toslink. If so all you need is the proper cable and you'll probably get much better sound from the iPod.

If you think listening to music is fun, try learning an instrument.
