[QUOTE="Romans5.8, post: 8583683, member: 645790"] Thanks. That's what I feared, I thought I'd ask here juuust in case there was something that could be done. I don't think there's ANY digital to analog converter at all. The audio it receives from my iPhone, for example, is using the 30-pin dock connector and it's analog leads (the Apple 30-pin dock connector outputs analog audio; if you didn't know. The device itself, or in this case, an adapter, contains the DAC). It receives digital information for on-screen data; but even a brand new 2017 model of this bike will still only support a 30 pin dock connector (with requisite adapter and included DAC) and it's analog audio signal. Of course, FM radio has no DAC, since it's analog entirely, right? I can probably fit a DSP. There's actually a lot of room inside that fairing, AND convenient mounting brackets and power leads! There are two available audio options, a SiriusXM module and a CB radio module; neither of which I have any interest in. Presently, the Amp is mounted where those would go, and there's still room. But, would that really make a difference? I'll confess ignorance when it comes to a lot of this stuff; at least compared to most of you here. I mean, if the source is awful, is a DSP really going to be able to polish the turd? [/QUOTE]
