Love to see you are building a mint condition grandma car also. While our build will be far different, it will be refreshing to see an entirely different perspective and vision on the same canvas. We are not cutting any corners and we know you are not as well. Cheers 🍻
I love that the sync is on point. The bitrate though I think far surpasses my hearing at this point in life lol. But sync alone is a reason to try this
5 years ago before there was ipad to optical adapters, i had to gut an apple tv and convert it to 12v to get an optical source. I also had to have a 4G modem for internet connectivity. Your setup is arguably easier and better.
Just use a decent DSP like Helix and stream BT directly to it's HD BT module. 24bit/ 48khz. Does the audio control even have a full parametric EQ on every channel?
Terrible footprint. Jensen makes a more powerful amp at 1/4 the size. Trust me I know as I used to be a professional car audio installer/designer at Best Buy
A DSP is the heart of a high-fidelity car audio system, crucial for anyone who values depth, clarity, and precision in their listening experience. I guess this answers my question if DSP is really necessary.
EDIT I was totally wrong but im gonna leave the receipts Daddy Doug TOSLINK only supports 2 channel CD quality or 5.1 compressed Dolby Digital UNLESS that dongle is running a different standard than SPDIF over the optical cable such as ADAT (not likely). That's probably why you're not having issues with bitrate switching, because it's not switching, just running 44.1/16bit all the time.
I run my Iphone using the same dongle to my Helix DSP 3, You will get 24/96HZ. when I tried to play anything above that it became a crackly mess as my DSP can only support up to 24/96HZ for optical input. additionally, that is why I switched from Amazon Music to Apple Music as Amazon won't always downgrade the track for what my DSP can play but instead always would play that highest quality setting.
@@punksweeper4678 it's cool man just for others, I got all confused when I was first understanding what optical can actual do with his res music/ what an Iphone can actual output from USB. I got a topping d10 to comfirm what my phone was actual out putting based on software/music. Iphone puts out PCM or DSD depending on settings/software.
DOUG ..... How have you not 3d printed or resin cast a "knob" as the knob? Give it a little twist-a-rooski, maybe spit on it a bit... Put em on the site, you can have everyone crankin on your knob
Well you know Doug’s like pro in the game, no better yet a veteran, in the hall of fame . He’s got that medicine he’s better than all the names. Aye it’s sound man car audio man, a lawless game.
Nice! Im using a Android headunit that feeds my Helix Ultra dsp an optical output for daily listening. Then I have a Fiio DAP connected to the DSP using coaxial connection as my critical listening source. I can control the Fiio DAP from my Android radio / steering wheel controls by downloading the Fiio Link app onto my android radio. Next is to implement auto source switching. So, if I am listening to music on the Fiio but a phonecall or nav prompt comes in,, the dsp would switch over to the headunit source to play the phonecall etc.and then back to my Fiio when done.
As a former professional car audio designer/installer/engineer I’d suggest you use more up to date equipment from top tier manufacturers like Kenwood, Kicker, and Hifonics. None of my customers have even heard of ancient iMacIntosch
A W E S O M E.... but Rafa's presence would be the cherry on the top!!!! PLEASE.... I beg you.... more often videos..... weekly.... daily.... I need rafa's mama jokes back into my life !!!!! Gratitude Progress in your life Health Wealth
I still have all my old CD's, along with a bass comp that has l'trimm, cars that go boom. I don't listen to them anymore, and would be happy to send them out there free.
Love the video. I just discovered your channel and immediately subscribed. I already have you in my top5 audio channels. I'm in the process of building a hi res. I have the same DSP and I'm using a older JL xdm800/8. I'm looking into components now. And have s pair of older but brand new powerbase PBX extreme 8" sub's in a custom slot port box I built, on a JLxd600/1. What do you recommend for a good front 3way on active setup and good 2way components for rear w crossover. That gives me my 8 channels. I can have the 6 available for front then use the 7/8 for rear fill. Plus Im a android user. What options are available for an android tablet w same optical output if any or should I just switch to apple in my car? Any advise would be appreciated.
Doug put those manufacturing skills to use and fabricate your door for the 8 inch Legatia, that’ll add a few episodes right there! Fabricate those doors, Doug!
We have been using sdpif and usb DAC's from tablets forever in SQ.... You should really try a good USB DAC as its superior to 24/96 limitation of the spdif..MQA etc will work with a proper DAC.. Audio Control DSP's are limited and is a lower qualtiy DSP compared to your amplifier... highly suggest Helix Ultra or MK3... or ARC Audio PS8 Pro if you want to SQ with the big boys.... . Every DSP I know of defaults FULL volume FYI.. you can adjust that though to default lower volume upon power on.. and checkout Tidal for high resolution streaming.. Also...I am pretty sure your amp is A/B not pure class A. Most Class A amps don't make very much power at all.
I get the test with the streaming audio but I'd check with an actual CD or CD ripped to the computer 16/44.1 to get standard results in case of that bit rate variable on those streaming tracks. Subtlety promoting CD's as they are very easy to find and are dirt cheap for 'forever' music to your collection physical items that you can pass around at your next party
“I’m trading in the F-150” episode 3 years ago time stamp 16:51 you said you were thinking of getting the grandma queff just so you know ;) big fan mate just rewatching some old ep’s and thought you should see it 😂
That Sony is the exact head unit I wanted when it came out. Where exactly gps wise are you located again? That Mac is nice to I'm trying to get that Playa.
Who’s your amp guy. I need to have a precision power pc2600 looked at. I thought something went wrong with it when I heard it spike and it cracked my voicecoil from the cone. It was a IDMax 12 so I was able to do a cone replacement.
Fleetwood Mac on the channel, we aging like fine wine Doug, I watched your video not from the toilet but on a recliner, gently resting my behind from the huge hernia from a poop 3 hours earlier
Have you seen the new car commercial that shows McIntosh for the stock stereo? Can't remember which car company....maybe Jeep?......Also, if I download co-buzz on my android deck that has SPDIF optical out, will it output a higher bitrate? I know nothing about this. Will it sound better even if I convert that optical to RCA?
Jeep Grand Wagoneer....it's labeled McIntosh but made by Alpine. It doesn't sound very good, certainly not on par with a high end aftermarket stereo at least.
No because the android radios are limited even on the digital outputs unfortunately. Slightly better than cd quality. There's a way to use the USB as audio out but you lose volume control that way
Problem is that your phone provider will charge you more for HD anything. Cd quality and DVD quality is the only audio/video that stays within their "Unlimited Data" plans. Just keep that in mind.
I would love it if I could use my main screen to control my dsp. I have a Zapco dsp and I’m an apple guy. I had to buy a POS windows laptop to get it all set up. But I’m not buying an audio control dsp,
Gp car audio had a Red MGM build series 6yrs ago front to back....doesn't matter js. Waiting to copy your sub box design for my Town Car....hurry it up!
Welcome to the streaming party I've been using quobuz for a while I like it been using it through usb audio player pro to bypass my android phones dac I use a hiby usb dongle dac to stream hi res bit perfect music through headphones or currently through my Kenwood deck though that's less than perfect cause I believe it then passes through the Kenwoods factory internal dac but it sounds good and I'll be doing something similar as you to stream bit perfect hi res music
I was all excited when I bought my 75" 4K tv. Trying to find programming better than 720p is a bitch. Also class A is outdated. Class D amps switch at 1 MEGA hertz. no way you can hear the difference. I bet it is going to sound good af though.
Just caught my gf flicking the bean and knew there must be a new Soundman video out!
You mean our gf
I concur.. Leave my Grammy alone!
Can't be mad at her
😅😅😅
Amazin!
5 point megahertz!
megahurts
I bought the same McIntosh amp from a guy trying to sell it to a pawn shop, the pawn shop didn't take 6 channel amps. I got it for $160.
Hello. Please bring back the explosion edit joke. 🔥 That is all. Thank you. 🔥
So many missed opportunities.
The missed “qualititty” jokes in this video 😢
Yes Benny Hinn back in effect! Benny a minute! Hahaha😂
Love to see you are building a mint condition grandma car also. While our build will be far different, it will be refreshing to see an entirely different perspective and vision on the same canvas. We are not cutting any corners and we know you are not as well. Cheers 🍻
If the box doesn't fit, you may need to cut some corners. 😂😂😂
Will yours play as low as 5 point megahurtz?
it doesn't matter what u did Doug!
Look, everyone -- it's Glint Yeastwood
Yeah that’s a sick setup connected to the iPad with the DSP on the iPad too… sweet.
Wow, this might just push me to make a dashkit on my mill and make it work just like you did! You are the man Doug! It matters what you do!
I bet Rafi’s mom will see the back seat of Gp’s Grand Marquis real soon ! lol
Cool setup, wonder if the USB SPDIF adapter is actually passing through the higher bitrate or if it's locked at 44.1khz.
Cockford Ballsgate!!
🎵 B-B-B-BASS HOW LOW CAN YOU GO B-B-B-BASS 🎶
oooooo feels good,thats nice
Bass boom bottom bass bass boom boom bottom.
I'm so glad your doing UA-cam part time. FU%$!!!!!!! FIGURE THIS OUT!!!! I'm back up on restroom time!!!!
Went from daily uploads, to twice a week, to twice a month. I need bathroom videos!!!

Not sure how much music is on that app but Tidal is another app with high res files
Pretty sweet! Would a usb c to optical convert work or do you still need the dongle for the DAC?
Just use a decent DSP like Helix and stream BT directly to it's HD BT module. 24bit/ 48khz. Does the audio control even have a full parametric EQ on every channel?
That McIntosh surfboard amp never fails to adjust the angle of my dangle!
Terrible footprint. Jensen makes a more powerful amp at 1/4 the size. Trust me I know as I used to be a professional car audio installer/designer at Best Buy
@@505Tempest Are you sure? This amplifier is 100x4 + 300x2. Class AB. I used to have the smaller one: 50x4 + 100x2.
Mannnn those Hybrids sound really good, i want some
Y'all don't have hybrids yet?
techmasters used to be my go to beat the block down sound back in the early 90s lmao
Still listening to tech master

Not all TOSLINK optical supports 24bit audio, some of the older specification is capped at 20bit
Doug could you explain how you setup those shortcuts so I can do the same with my in dash iPad.

@@punksweeper4678 all good.....high res audio formats are pretty much a waste of time and money anyways for basically zero gain
Awesome... You just need the way to put video signal to the iPad. That way you can add reverse or 360 signals 😁
No Mcintosh speakers were harmed in this video, Doug, you liar!

He gas a great idea. Haha bass knob that says SHITTTT
Awesome video, i love messing with dsp's!
Oh man 🙌🏼👍🏼nice set up
I heard that's the best Car amp ever made - is that just a rumor? The brand all Dentists adore , McIntosh.
Love the new video man! ❤
