will this DAC allow me to connects PC iPod android device to my vintage pioneer stereo with only rca r l inputs?

If you're asking if it can connect your Computer, iPod, or android device to your receiver then yes after connecting them to a computer, but I don't think you would need a DAC for that. You could just use a RCA to 3.5mm jack and connect it that way.

A PC or laptop with an unused USB port connects to the Modi input. The Modi output is the standard RCA jacks. Then use a RCA patch cord to connect Modi output to your Pioneer. But there is going to be problems trying to get USB-like digital signal from iPod or similar device. For your portable device, it would be easier using 3.5mm headphone plug to RCA cable adapter and then connect directly to your Pioneer.

What is a "PC Ipod Android device"? If you mean PC/Computer, then yes. No, an Ipod or Android device probably will not work with it. Possibly with an android device with tons of work and a way to get a line out connection with the charger port.

Yes, it will connect to older amplifiers/receivers. Just connect the RCA leads to the aux input. That's what I did with a 36 year old tube receiver, with no problem at all.

No, it is not a DAC. It is a preamplifier so the USB is output only to your computer with software such as Audacity (free to download).

Nope. As dmdmba said: the DAC part of the amp plugs into your computer's or digital audio player's USB port to get its input, and puts out an analog signal.

Yes. Plus, this unit has a DAC, which means that the inferior DAC in the ipod will be bypassed resulting in much better sound.

Yes it will. My new provider doesn't provide a PCM audio strean, just AC3, so I couldn't use the digital (S/PDIF or TOSLINK) outputs of my cable box to feed my Hi-Fi DAC that only has digital inputs (no analog). I used this little unit to create a digital stream from the cable box's analog output and all is now fine. No special setup required.

Yes... line-out of DAC to preamp-in (or any of the line-level inputs) on your receiver.

No. You would need to use a 3.5mm to dual RCA, or something similar. This is an amp, not a DAC btw.

It does not have RCA inputs, but you can easily make up an adapter that can use XLR or 1/4" cable for your iPod. It will work with your speakers. I see a lot of bad reviews of this amp, but I am a mobile DJ and I have pushed this amp to it's limits and it still lives. So for me, the Pyle Pro PTA1400 is a steal at that price point.

You would need a DAC - Digital to Analog Converter. There are TONS of these available but this is not one of them.

It only has the 3.5mm input jack. While you could get an adapter cable with the red/white RCA on one end and the 3.5mm plug on the other, you would still have an issue with the output level. Older stereos with a "phono" input had line level amplifiers, or preamps, on that input channel, because the sound level out of a record player was different than that of other devices. If this is not the case for yours, then an adapter cable will work for you, using the "portable" input.

RCA inputs are analog Line In inputs. You can actually connect a phono stage

I tested with a yamaha dock YDS-10 in a receiver and other ipod dock stations but all they use the analog imputs not digital and worked fine, hope it helps. Will be better if able to pair more than 1 device.

I believe this should work but don't know if the schematics are the same. It has 2 stereo RCA inputs, phono and auxiliary, and 1 amplified stereo RCA output. You can adjust the output level on the output. I use this to run my turntable and jukebox through my Samsung TV Home Theater. There is no line in on the home theater, so without this preamp, the input is too weak. I am happy with the unit, and leave it on all the time as it uses very little electricity when not in use. I agree with the previous answer from Jeffrey W. Spicer.

I use it to connect my iPod to my home audio system & works fine. I'm not too electronically savvy. Sorry.

You can connect it with the 3.5mm RCA cables, but the sound quality is poor, at least on mine, I have an IPod that I connect via USB, the sound quality is much much better. Hope this helps.

not at all. It would need a DAC built in to be able to plug a usb directly into an amplifier. Many others have them built in just not the tp-60.you could use a headphone out cable from your cpu or ipod with rca outputs and plug them directly into this amp, then run passive speakers.
