Best way to Connect IPOD to Hi-Fi.


Any input would be helpful [IPOD to RCA].
Was thinking of the Monster Cable, but thought you guys might have a better idea.
I do want to keep the cost under $100, so nothing too fancy.
Thanks.

Before I bought Wadia iTransport, I used Zu Cable Pivot directly from iPod to pre, and it sounded pretty darn good. Paid about $40 on eBay. Very well-made cable.

Contact Ken Ball at Audio Line Out and get a decent iPod dock-RCA cable. You don't want to tap off the headphone socket, so forget mini-plug to RCA cords. I started with a SendStation because these are pretty cheap, but a custom dock cable is the way to go. Ken removes all the pins except for the three that you need for auio line level, and uses good wire (Jena Labs) and plugs.

Regards,
most ipods have bad DACs, and bad wordclock,
the nano2g rev1, when heats after a few songs, sounds lifeless.
