I has spend many hours doing the test replaying same track from Keiko Lee.My simple system setup was a pair of Usher S520 Bookshelf-speakers driven by a little monster 10Watts Trends T10.1 T-amp & some customize cables.My conculsion here is signal coming out thru ipod Dock[6 Gen. Version] did produce better in audio seperation but with much less weight as compare to headphone jack point.I personally enjoy more jacking in my audio system thru Head jack which is alot more warm and musical sounding.

Hi all, after spent 1 Hour reading this thread, I got some questions

1. Which part has the better sound output for the 6G, the dock connector with a good cable out or the headphone jack?

2. I just updated the Ipod today and it seems it has gone from 1.0 to 1.01 to 1.02 to 1.03 and now its 1.1. And form a thread i read, the error in the new dac can be fixed by a firmware update and now I think maybe after many emails form apple fans, they might have fixed that problem, can anyone confirm this? thank you soo much

I have a 4th gen Imod a 80gb classic and 1st gen nano. From the LOD, amped, the classic SQ is closer to the 1st gen nano than the Imod, the difference is significant.
