ALL Things IPOD

There have been a few threads on specific issues. As audiophile who travels a lot and at times uses the IPOD for background music for parties thanks to its playlists etc, I am just creating this thread for any IPOD related discussion: we can be free flowing in our discussion.

I will start: I saw in 6moons and someone's comment in another thread that using the dock instead of the headphone jack of the IPOD to connect to your main system provides better sound quality. Really? How much? Why? How do you connect via the dock? Doesn't it just have USB/Firewire connections?

I have a 3G iPod and there is a line out on the dock. I also have the the Altec Lansing inMotion speaker set and there is a line out connection on the back of that as well. I imagine the better sound might have something to do with the signal being line level, versus powered for the headphone jack.

Given how common 'pods are becoming in set ups - if only for convenience - good thread idea. But probably in a different forum.
