Awesome! glad you all enjoyed it, though probably not as much as I amWow, that's quite the setup! Excellent write up and thank you for taking the time to post the photos along with it.
I just featured it on the front page as well
Hung out with Mike (my installer) this weekend so we can tweak around with the Helix some. Man, that thing is nothing short of knobs to play with as we hunt for the "perfect sound" which I am sure we will never find, but it's also part of the fun in my opinion.
Nope it's not and as much driving to lakes I'm doing these days it would be easy for us to meet up if you wanted to check it out in person.
How is the audio being fed into the DSP right now? I would assume you would be using CarPlay and if you used it via the USB cable it should be capable of 24/192khz, as long as Uconnect is capable.
Audio is coming into the head unit, out to the factory amp (I believe this is correct BTW I can double check with Mike) and fed into the PAC unit which feeds the OPTICAL input on the V Twelve. Which in turn feeds the P ONE via line outs.
I would A/B using a normal lightning cable to the USB in the vehicle vs the DAC dongle. If you are using the DAC dongle you are adding the extra A/D-D/A conversion and who knows the quality of the A/D in the Uconnect head unit. No perfect solution when using the stock head units but the less you have to convert the better.
The Uconnect has a DAC and is using it when you use a USB cable directly. Using that DAC dongle is just going to cause more conversions and is only going to degrade the signal and still use the Uconnect DAC.
Will it skip the internal DAC? My assumption is that the system is going to convert everything to digital so it can MUX all the cars audio. Then it will still use the cars DAC. Now I’m curious to find the answer, wonder where to dig
All your comments well-deserved, just trying to be funny sorry if I ruffle your feathers
Cory, lets us start with I'm sorry. I'm sorry to assume your post came from a place of negativity. I'm sorry it came from a place of hate, none of which it sound like it did. It's hard to read text the same as it does speech and we all know it never does.I joined this forum December 1 of last year when I place my order for my truck and there’s one thing about this forum (which is my first forum by the way) has come to impress me is the quality of people on it, for the most part anyway…….
I’ve sent money to BBB for him to use at his discretion sponsoring people who want to become members but not necessarily be able to afford it.
With in a week or so he sent me a message about the people that benefited kind of thing. Since then there’s been a few more of us folks who’ve done the same.
Me, at age 64 i’ve become a lot more retrospective and always seeking out ways to pay it forward.
On another note; the last time that I was in Montana I was elk hunting with mules and my horse out of Missoula. Having hunted in a lot of different places in this world, that experience was unique because after six days of hard riding I woke up in the middle of night on crazy pain, I had herniated a disc my back had to be life flighted out, it was crazy!
I tried to cowboy off and get back on my horse at a right out but I almost passed out and fell into her river and turned around and gave up the ghost.
Satellite phone and an American Express card, never leave home without it
Luckily my long time hunting partner was able to take my horse and mules back and pick me up from the hospital with some really Bitchin pain relievers in my pocket.
So now at the risk of being rude again, what music would you be listening to driving down town?

My outfitter Paws Up did everything thing they could to get some game and come home safe. I’ll take you up on your offer next time I’m in your backyard
I have zero issues with hunting but why would anyone hunt zebra? Other that needing to cull a heard it seems about as pointless as stalking down your neighbors Arabian.
