Media Adaptor - tried and liked

I've picked up a mint condition snapin media adaptor for my iPhone 4 from Ebay and must say for the nice price of £25 delivered I'm liking it a lot.

Sound quality is definitely better than with the USB cable I was using with what I think is a tighter more defined bass.

Found to be easy to use and works well with album art being displayed ok.

Maybe I need to do a phone upgrade sometime.

Then there shouldn't be any difference in sound quality as a digital signal either gets through or it doesn't.

Yes, purely auto-suggestion. It's utterly impossible for it to sound any different.

Pleased to hear it's working the way you were hoping it would, and that you'd received it in its original mint condition........took me a while to make sure I'd packaged it safely enough for you!!

Noticed another forum member sold one the same for twice the price!......Should have priced it more realistically!....But hey, who gives a s**t !!!....My loss, your gain....enjoy its usefullness!!!!!

(Wouldn't happen to be interested in a 19" 441M alloy with slight kerb damage for the throwaway price of £100 would you?....New one costs £635 retail....I should know since I've just bloody bought one!!!)

Yes packaging was superb.Thanks again.
Bad luck damaging a wheel,didn't realise they were so expensive.
Old ones no good for me though I'm afraid.

Love the snap ins. Forever leaving my phone in it though by accident. Need to code a 'bong' reminder the phones still in it.
