I want a system that can be used with Bose 901 speakers. Also, my music is now in my iPod. Bose recommends this amp, but can the iPod be hooked up?

Yes, I have an iPod hooked up to my Marantz SR4053 through an iPod dock to the aux input.

Yes, just use the cd output. You can pick up.the audio cable at walmart for your ipod.

It doesn't have an iPod jack, but you could go headphones out (1/8" male) to RCA (male). You may want to use a headphone amp.

Hi, it's so that you can connect any other audio equipment that doesn't have the iPod connector, typically say an iPad could be connected from its headphone output to the Auxillery input on the klipsch iGroove . I will tell you that for the money they sound amazing , trully as good as a Bose unit in my opinion . Good luck Chris f

Bose speakers can be interesting... I am using this to power some speakers that do require amplification, however they are not Bose speakers. For the price you could give it a try I suppose, or try powering the speakers with a non Bose amplifier first to see if it would work? If they are powered speakers I would say no as this would be double amplification and most likely cause distortion etc... Good luck!

Yes, you can. I am currently using this amp with a pair of Bose Model 141 Bookshelf speakers, and the sound is very pleasing. This amp even includes banana plug connectors, which I am currently using. I hope this answers your question.

If you use a link cable from the speaker of the IPOD to the Speaker Dock, and insert it into the port of the docking station on the back, then push the input button on the Speaker Dock, that should work. (It is the same cable/wire you use to connect your IPOD to a car's stereo system.) There is a port on the docking station that allows you to hook up other devices to the docking station and use its' speakers. Otherwise, I don't know.

No. You need to connect your iPod to an amplifier. The speakers connect to the amplifier

Hi Lane, This amp is a real machine. It run low/quiet and you can use ipod straight in. I used it with an ipad straight in and the sound quality is superb. Hope this helps.

Absolutely can. That is what I have - the original Bose Sound Dock - Cable Jive fits onto the port instead of putting your IPod on there. You connect to your IPhone via bluetooth (at least that's how I connect to my IPad and/or Android phone. Very easy - sound is AWESOME. Cable Jive turned my old Bose Sound Dock into a way more versatile device for a very low cost! HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

If you connect the amp into the input of the speakers, it should be possible. The only this is, if your Bose speakers can only be raised so much, then adding more power might over-work and strain your speakers, eventually leading them to blow. Try the set up but be careful with raising the volume too high and moderate your equalizing frequencies.

The Home kit has 1/8 mini plug output, and includes the 1/8 to RCA type cord. If needed, you can get an adapter cord from Radio Shack that will let you plug into almost any type audio you have. I have mine plugged into an old player with RCA plugs, so I just plugged it in. It would depend on what type plug the Bose has as to which adapter you might need.

Brilliantly. My husband has an iPod 2, and I bought it specifically to go with it. As long as your iPod is Bluetooth capable, you'll have no problem. It's a really nice speaker, especially for the money. Looks great (unobtrusive) as well. Forgot to add, it has an audio jack for devices that don't have Bluetooth, so if you don't mind an audio cable, it will work that way, too.

You would still be able to use the cleansweep to convert to rca signal, then wire in an auxiliary out to use an I pod or mp3 player. The cleansweep wires to your speaker leads and sounds incredible when you amplify.

To be honest, the quality of sound you will get depends on the speakers and the amplifier you use for those speakers. I have some old technics 5 speaker system (2 towers, 2 surround and 1 front) connected to a Pioneer receiver and they sound great. This device essentially replaces the cable from your phone/tablet/ipod to the amplifier or receiver. It is like asking which speakers work best with an ipod... it really does not depend on the ipod!

Yes. This unit has amazing sound. Best value in the category IMO, so much better sound than the Bose ... and more top-end volume, too.

It has RCA inputs which can be used with a headphone =&gt; RCA adapter. The amplifier is powered by an external adapter, as you would not use the DAC and only the amplifier with an iPod, the other answer is wrong.

Thanks, Darryl. I'm looking for a decent stereo system I can use with iPhone, iPod and iPad. I'd also like it to have CD capabilities. There are so many ways to go!

It is NEVER recommended to plug sound sources like an ipod, computer, or other consumer electronics directly into an amplifier. You should ALWAYS use a mixer or preamp. This is due to the fact that the impedance needs to be properly matched between the output and the input of the amplifier. Devices such as ipods cannot do this. Directly plugging them in to an amp is unwise and can damage them. BTW, I've been a sound engineer for over 25 years and sold sound equipment for a while.
