Onkyo DS-A5 iPod/iPhone/iPad Dock (Discontinued by Manufacturer)
Owners of Onkyo A/V receivers and stereo amplifiers -particularly older units that lack a USB or ethernet port - can now enjoy the convenience of wireless audio streaming with the DS-A5 iPod/iPhone/iPad Dock. The DS-A5 - which connects to your system via analog or digital audio outputs - features AirPlay for streaming over the home network. Just select an audio or video file , touch the AirPlay icon, and the dock powers up your system and commences playback. Or, with a few clicks of the mouse , you can send music wirelessly from your computer’s iTunes library to the DS-A5 for playback over your hi-fi or home theater. Superior sound quality is assured when using the digital audio output, which transports the signal directly to your Onkyo receiver’s audiophile-grade Digital-to-Analog Converters (DACs). A composite video output enables movie and photo playback from iOS device on your TV, while an RI connection centralizes control of your system into one main remote. With the DS-A5, you can dock your iPod, iPhone, or iPad anytime for a recharge, or continue using it anywhere in the house while streaming your favorite music at the same time .
