Hi,

I have an old Onkyo A-9210 amp. How do I connect an iPhone 7 to the amp without much audio volume loss?

I noticed when connecting an iPod directly to one of the audio input slots that the volume levels were much lower than the CD player connected to the amp - hence my concern.

Thanks!

Thanks a ton! Would any DAC do - sorry, am quite new at this....
Don't be sorry - all of us only know what we need to know.
For instance, I can tell you that any DAC with a USB input is what you need.
But as I've never owned an Apple product, I don't know exactly what lead would be necessary to get USB out of an I Phone 7.
Which is where someone reading this will hopefully step in and say exactly what's needed.
If they don't, it might be worth starting a 'Best way to connect iPhone7 to USB DAC' thread.

An alternative would be to connect a Bluetooth receiver to your Onkyo amp and transmit your music wirelessly (receiver output would be similar to CD level).
Ultimately, direct connection a via decent USB DAC would best for quality, but this BT receiver is reported to be about as good as BT gets:
