"MrBlackC2003",

As far as MP3 options are concerned for your C90/4000x, there's only really
one option right now as far as I'm concerned: Check out the Phatbox by
Phatnoise - http://www.phatnoise.com/

Matt Dralle


There are actually other options, besides the Phatbox (which is fairly
overpriced IMO)... I've tried to post this before (when I first heard about
it perhaps half a year ago) but I was having problems posting to the list
(returned emails) and didn't want to be bothered retyping stuff, lol...

Anyway, if you have/get a Sony NW-HD1*, HD3 or HD5 Walkman (portable
HDD-based DAP (digital audio player)) you can actually integrate it with
UniLink... All three of these units have a 20G capacity and utilise either
ATRAC3/3plus or MP3 files on the internal HDD.

*The reason I put an asterisk beside the HD1 is because the HD1 was not
originally capable of playing MP3 files, only ATRAC3/3plus. Sony did offer
a firmware upgrade, however, which allowed it to be the equivalent of the
HD1. Unfortunately the firmware update offer is permanently closed now
(ended March 31st 2006) so you either have to have an HD3 or HD5 or newer
(or already upgraded HD1) for MP3 capability.

Note also that these players have all been discontinued but can be had in
"used-but-excellent-condition" in the neighbourhood of $120-$200 US. The
new Sony player equivalent the NW-A3000 is not yet available in the US (but
is available almost everywhere else in the world actually) is not supported
by the interface.

Anyway, a company called Connects2 makes an interface for these 3 players to
connect to UniLink... The interface which runs ~$100 US and allows you to
control the HDx and also display all normal information (album/artist title,
track title, track time, etc.) on the HU. It interfaces with the HU as
would any changer and displays text info as if it were a CD-Text changer.

There's only one small problem with the interface, that is the fact that
Sony utilises a line-out mode for the headphones jack (switches the output
impedance and voltage for line out); so both LINE OUT and HEADPHONES out use
the same jack. The problem is that the player will not engage LINE OUT mode
when there is a remote plugged into the jack. The Connects2 adapter, of
course, must use the remote/headphones jack for control/data and audio.
Therefore the only thing you can do is connect the player and set the volume
to maximum, which isn't quite as good as using the true line-out mode Sad

There is no way past that limitation, short of hard-modding the player
(something I'm looking into doing myself since I have two HD3s and can
dedicate one to car-only use).

The Phatbox does offer larger capacities I suppose, but it can't also be
your personal portable DAP as well Razz The iPod does offer larger capacities
(than the 20G Network Walkmans I mean) and there are also iPod to UniLink
adapters...

Sony was also supposed to make their own Walkman-to-UniLink adapter but
(perhaps since Connects2 beat them to the punch) they opted not to do that
and what they did do was make an *iPod* interface!!! Yes absolutely stupid
(but not unbelieveable given the stupid things Sony does) that they would
support a competing product for their HUs instead of their own Walkmans but
they did it anyway. That interface is known as the XA-110IP and allows
data/control/audio from a compatible iPod.

Connects2 also makes an iPod interface for UniLink in addition to their
Walkman interface.

The Connects2 Walkman-UniLink adapter is part # ASONWHD001; Connects2 is a
UK company, their US distributor, Connects2 USA, calls this adapter the
MSC-01.

I don't really endorse anything iPod or Apple in any way, because one the
iPod stinks and two I hate Apple and believe they should go bankrupt, lol.
But there's the info anyway.

Note that none of these interfaces has any kind of pass-through (Crutchfield
erronously states Sony's XA-110IP does but it clearly doesn't); therefore if
any are to be connected in addition to other changer devices an XA-C30 or
other Sony MCA is required.

Hope that info helps!

Hey,

Does anyone know the story with Sony's Sony XAV-A1? It has Unilink for an
external TV-Tuner, but will it control a XDP-4000x? I doubt it. Anyone know
for sure?

Linky: http://reviews.cnet.com/Sony_XAV_A1/4505-3426_7-31424074.html

Why on EARTH would Sony NOT support the XDP-4000x? It would be a perfect
"Upgrade" path for those of us that don't want to let go of the XDP-4000x
and an optically connected Changer, but would love to have MP3 capability
and a 7" Display! I doubt Sony would do something that smart Smile . So, we
stick with the C90, and Sony does not see any more cash...

Still looking at the I-Pod Unilink adaptor (is this brand-new? I can't find
it in stock), and the HD-3/5 adaptor. Has anyone actually used these
Unilink devices with a C90? The description says "Compatible with select
2000 and newer Sony Uniliny HU's" - wasn't that before the C90's time?

Let me know any info

Hmm, it makes perfect sense to *us* but to Sony, the XDP-4000X was
discontinued long ago and with it any new products supporting it. If
anything Sony would have to make some new XDP unit perhaps with DD/DTS
decoding and perhaps SACD as well. (Though SACD is pretty much dead by now
anyway.) But, they aren't going to be in any rush to do even that. Seems
external processors in car audio have long gone "out of style" and aren't
something the mainstream market even considers. Surely there is still a
small market for high-end products that utilise separate components, but the
money probably just isn't there for them to bother. Ceeding that particular
market to companies like Alpine seems disappointing but considering Sony
does far more business than car A/V (whereas Alpine does very little more
than that) I guess it just doesn't make sense to them. Though Sony may not
see anymore cash from you, you can bet they are raking it in otherwise, LOL!

Anyway, at least Sony's mainstream offerings have improved markedly starting
in 2005. An interesting thing I noted with their 2006 models is that they
have now dropped the TI/Burr-Brown D/As they were using for the 2005 models.
Instead, they've gone with "DSP integrated" 24-bit D/A conversion and
proprietary DSP/system controller ICs. Certainly more efficient but I
wonder if the sound is better or worse, or if it makes much difference?
They're calling this "X-DSP with Time Alignment" and they're now including
EQ13 instead of the older EQ7, on some models.

It's likely no match for the XDP-4000X; but, truth be told, todays HUs at
least have the power/quality/features of my XDP-210EQ all built-into the HU
already. The only difference is that without any digital connections to
speak of, the only thing that gets all digital-domain processing is the HU
(and it's CD drive) itself, everything else goes
analog-->HU-->digitised-->analog-->amps. But if you think about it, most
people these days don't even buy CD changers. Sure most of us that use this
list have *multiple* changers, lol; but I think changer sales are a lot
lower than they once were--you can even tell by the number of models each
manufacturer has now. The main thing to be connected today is an iPod or
other portable DAP--by and large people just don't use CDs like they used
to.

Again though this doesn't really do much for anyone with a XDP-4kX, it seems
that mainstream decks have increased in sound quality/features. Other
manufacturers have done the same over the years, increasing feature sets
included in their HUs; though with Sony it seems they went through ~5 years
of producing absolute garbage to catch up, LOL.

Though I would definitely like to see them produce a successor XDP unit, I'd
still buy one of a number of today's better mainstream HUs produced by
various companies--they are at least a lot simpler to deal with, many of
them removing the need for external processing.

I have one of these Connects2 units hooked up to my c90/4000x system and it works fine. sounds ok too, with WAV files on the HD3. Atrac3 is ok too, but not MP3.

you can control the hd3 from the head and also still from the player it self. It does not however charge the hd3, so you will need a 12v ciggy lighter or similar attachment to usb to charge it.

Randy V.

To address both of the above, yes the XA-110IP is brand new--a 2006 model
from Sony. It isn't available just yet but should be very shortly.

I'm not sure about the compatibility of the XA-110IP, but Connects2's iPod
interface (ASOIPOD001 / MSC-02) should work with the C90. They've had
random incompatibility problems with certain UniLink HUs here and there, but
it should work. Connects2 products (bought through Crutchfield or even
Connects2 directly) have a return policy so if it doesn't work/do what you
want it to you can return it for a refund Smile

I would think the Sony XA-110IP would work and they're just saying "2000 and
later" just to not have to deal with older units, but I have no idea really.
*Unlesss*....The only thing I can think of is that they *might* have used
that oh-so-stupid "ID3 Text" business that their MX (MP3-CD) changers use.
You know the text that is neither transmitted to the HU via MD Text nor
CD-Text and is only compatible with 2000 and later HUs? LOL. It might be
that.

However, the Connects2 adapters use CD-Text so as long as your HU supports
CD-Text then you're fine.

As there was a downside to using the Walkman-Unilink adapter (no Line-Out),
there is also a downside to using the iPod adapter.

Now I'm unsure if Sony has done anything different than Connects2 but if you
think about UniLink to begin with it doesn't really have the facility to
handle something like browsing through a DAP. First of all, all you have
for "browsing" at all is the 8-char. CustomFile through the "LIST-up"
feature and who knows how many albums (CDs) that's limited to because all
Sony's ever had was a max of 10 CDs in a changer.

So that's a problem either with the iPod or the Walkman interface. Going
through albums with album +/- is a real pain.

*BUT* the iPod makes this even more difficult... With the Walkman adapter,
though the Walkman locks out line-out mode, it doesn't lock out the controls
on the unit--you're free to browse about on the player as you would normally
and that easily makes up for the lack of "browsability" on the HU.

However the iPod doesn't work like that! The iPod because of it's design,
locks out something perhaps more important--the controls! iPod has two
remote modes--Simple and Full. In order to get text/data from the iPod to
go on the HU, the iPod *must* be accessed in Full remote mode. But when in
full remote mode the iPod disables it's controls. Therefore you can't
navigate on the iPod itself, only on the HU which only allows Album +/- and
not really much else for navigating through your music.

The only alternative to this (if control on the iPod is still desired) is to
not have any text/data displayed on the HU (but retain simple controls like
track +/-, etc.) and use the Simple remote mode. Connects2 has also
released another iPod adapter that does just this, it is the ASOIPOD002.
Using this you get simple controls and no text or data (track number/time
are not displayed either). That's the UK number though and I'm unsure if
their US division stocks or sells that model.

(Note that Sony's XA-110IP, if it displays text, must operate in Full remote
mode and therefore controls on the iPod will be disabled.)

So either way you have trade-offs, unfortunately. With a Sony Walkman you
lose line-out. With the iPod you can either choose between text/data and
poor navigation (on the HU only) or no text/data and the ability to navigate
on the iPod (which IMO you might as well just use AUX input if you're going
to do that). Note that all of these limitations are actually limitations of
the portable devices and not really poor design of the interfaces--there's
just no way around those things.

? You can't put WAV files on an HD3, it doesn't suport them. (I have two
HD3s so I'm pretty sure of this). If you're putting WAVs on through
SonicStage, be assured they are being converted to ATRAC3/3plus first. MP3
files sound great on the HD3 IMO, with good MP3 files at least. And I've
never read any reports/reviews otherwise, regarding it's MP3 capability. It
handles pretty much every MP3 you throw at it too, CBR, ABR, or VBR provided
it's 44.1kHz stereo. It also does ATRAC3 and ATRAC3plus but not WMA or WAV
(or any other formats) without conversion first. ATRAC3plus is arguably
better than MP3 as well, offering bitrates up to 352kbps (MP3 is limited to
320kbps).

No unfortunately (again a limitation by the HD3 itself rather than the
interface as the dock connection offers no audio) the interface cannot
charge the HDx unit; though the iPod interfaces do charge/power the iPod.

Thanks for the info on the XA-110IP! I bought the XA-100 not knowing that
this existed. I will get one of these for my Ipod.

I think I'll keep it regardless.

They are only $99 new at Crutchfield.

I want to put video in although I hear the 4000 delays the sound.

Yeah the XA-300 really isn't *that* badly priced considering what you get.
The quality of the unit is definitely very good as well. The USB input (if
you ever use it) utilises Burr-Brown D/A as well (it tells you this in
Windows when it detects the unit on your PC).

You can also get one on eBay cheaper than that. Usually around $60-$70 US
or so. I got mine a few years ago, on eBay, for like $40 shipped, since it
didn't have a UniLink cable with it...

In the usual retarded modern Sony fashion, I believe the DVD player
doesn't directly work with unilink. There is an adaptor box. I'm curious,
does it turn on the optical inputs for the DVD changer? Or can it not do 2
channel digital audio?

Beware, some say the XDP4000 adds a delay as the DSP processors do their
thing, which may cause video to unsync.

I use an Xbox in the car (xbox media center) and have no problems with the
210EQ but it is much lesser of a unit, and I'm not using SPDIF output on
the xbox yet. Xbox makes a great $90 mobile media center. You can upgrade
the hardrive and store large collection of sorted
mp3/wav/divx/mpeg1/mpeg2/mpeg4. Add a wireless access point for easy FTP
of new media.
