Has anyone tried connecting an iPod to the 990? Can it be done? If so, how did you configure the inputs. How does is sound?

I have a third gen 30 gig Ipod hooked up to my 990 thru a docking station via an RCA Y cable hooked up analog to AUX stereo inputs. Only problem is I cannot label that particular input so it reads AUX on the 990. I tried hooking the iPod directly but it works much better with the docking unit.
All my songs on the iPod were recorded off CD at at least 224k and though it is not CD quality, reference listening quality it is quite good for listening while working around the house, reading or when I have a group of people over. It is a nice addition to my system.

Only problem is I cannot label that particular input so it reads AUX on the 990. The v3.11 firmware allows you to edit the input name for AUX, TAPE, and CD inputs. Only tuner, phono, and 7.1 direct are still not editable.

I used the Apple Universal Docking Station for my wives IPod. Like Gonk says, I labeled both my Harmony 890 and the 990 input "Karen's IPod".

Just so I'm on the same page before spending the $'s, is this what we're talking about. http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/We...&nplm=TN983LL/A

This will, of course work. However, considering the sound quality out of the headphone jack of an Ipod, that quality of cable is probably overkill.
This is not what Hullguy is talking about, though, as he's getting the signal from the docking connector instead. I haven't seen a way to get the raw bitstream out of the Ipod to use the DACs in the 990, though.

Yeah gonk I know about the upgrade, have just been lazy about getting it done. I definitely agree with mahansm that cable is way over doing it. Go bluejeans cable or even a Radio Shack Y cable. I did see a dock from Wadia: Wadia iPod Dock that bypasses the iPod DAC but a bit expensive for me at $349.

So that is the correct cable, I just don't need one that expensive? Sounds good to me. Always like to save money.
