iPod Line Out vs. Laptop Headphone Out?
Which should provide better sound quality;
20GB, 4G iPod with Pocket Dock Line Out to PA2V2
or
Dell Inspiron 8600 Headphone Jack to PA2V2
I have been using the laptop headphone jack to PA2V2 for my home use, mainly for the occasional EQ benifits. But I was wondering if I would get better sound quality from my iPod's Line Out to the Pocket Amp? Also, is there any way to make the laptop's headphone jack into a 'line out' by changing computer settings?
Thanks for any insights.

I don't know about your particular laptop but I found the output of my laptop (Compaq) to be pretty mediocre. The best thing you can do if you want decent sound out of a laptop is to bypass your headphone out and buy a new soundcard. I'd suggest the M-Audio Transit, it has a decent quality sound straight out of its output. It's about $70-80 and doesn't need a power supply, it's gone lots of juice for even high impedance headphones.

If the Dell has the standard or even a Soundblaster Card I would say the Ipod lineout to the PAV2 sounds better.

iPod lineout will sound better. In addition, most of Dell labtop's headphone outputs hums.
