This might appeal to those people who prefer to listen with amps, and have no need for a headphone out, but who also don't want to bother with the somewhat more cumbersome lineout dock.
This is more out of curiosity than anything. I'm quite happy with my 4g iMod, and wouldn't be able to afford a 5g for a long time anyway.

Hi Mcmyers,
It is possible, but even more of a pain in the butt to do!
I do not plan to ever offer this option.
I prefer the line out dock because the connection is more secure (Ken's LOD "snaps" securely into place...no more auto-pause problems from loose mini cables).
Also, wiring to the dock results in a shorter, cleaner connection for the 5G/5.5G iPods because the DAC chip is close by and on the same side of the board. This is NOT the case if I were to wire to the headphone jack.
Best regards,
Vinnie
