iPad as a music server?

Dyfrig,

Just came across your post. Since you're able to get the Chordette to work with your iPhone, my first guess is that the Chordette is ignoring the iPad because it thinks it should be paired to the iPhone.

If you power cycle the Chordette (or flip the little toggle switch from the "wireless" (Bluetooth) setting to the "wired" setting for a few seconds, and then flip it back), you should be able to start fresh and pair the DAC to your iPad.

On the iPad, go to Settings (General) > Bluetooth. Make sure the Bluetooth toggle is "On" and look for the "Chordette" strip under devices. Tap the Chordette strip. It usually takes a couple of seconds to pair the DAC and the iPad, and you're good to go.

Also, with the new "AirPlay" software, there is now an AirPlay icon next to the volume slider in iPod (music-playing) mode that looks a bit like a TV balanced on a triangle. Touch this to expand it, and make sure the Chordette is selected (checked).

Good luck--and report back!

Latest IPAD sw disables USB capability.

The new Cambridge Audio iD100 ipad/iphone doc......as long as you have a dac. This should get around the usb problems and is cheaper than Wadia.

The upcoming iPad2, to be launched soon in March, will have a USB port and for those whose DAC's come with a USB input, using the iPad as a music server will be a much more pleasant experience. I wait with bated breath.
