How can I bypass the ipod DAC?
Please help: Is there a cable (or device) that allows us to bypass the DAC part of the ipod and get digital outs in the form of USB or S/PDIF connectors? I do not know why it would make a difference but we are using rockbox. Very grateful for your help.- spinneresque

Better USB/DAC than Total Bithead for under $200?
I like the total bithead, I just want to make sure it's the best choice before I get one. I cannot spend more than $200. I also have an EMU 0404 USB. Portability is not a huge issue, but preferred.
