My other modi 3 lasted barely 1 year - I have to heat it up with hairdryer before computer recognizes it. Has this happened to anyone with this one?

I'm just mostly curious as to how you figured out that heating it up with a hair dryer worked. Did you try balancing it on top of a Ranch dressing bottle first? or hitting it with a shoe? Mostly just curious as to how many percussive or thermal adjustments were attempted before arriving at this solution.

How would i connect my ipod? what cable do i need?

This device is not meant to connect to an iPod.

Does it works with bose l1 compact or pro8?

As long as the have RCA inputs, you can run your digital output from your soutce into the Modi and the Modi into any amplifier with RCA ins.

If i use the schitt modi 3 with my desktop using the optical out connecting powered speakers will i still be able to use my desktop volume control?

i don't think so. i think you would have to use the volume control on the speakers. you can if you use the usb connection.
