The 30-pin (older phone) or lightning jack (newer phones) puts out a "line" output which would be going through your DAC but not your amplifier... you could get a clue where the problem lies. How about when you handle phone calls using that headphone jack? How do those sound? You might have something gumming up your headphone jack physically, or there might be a problem with the amplifier. I know that in the past I've gotten some really REALLY bad sound when a headphone is not FULLY inserted into the jack - you get something that is mostly monophonic with the L+R signals added up out of phase with each other (or something like that). Can really sound like crap. Make sure (compressed air? toothpick?) that there isn't something keeping your headphone plug from going all the way in. -Charles -- Charles Robinson - [email protected] Minneapolis, MN http://charles.robinsontwins.org http://www.facebook.com/charles.robinson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
