I just bought a 5G ipod for work, and silly me didn't know that you needed to buy a cable to use the lineout. What lineout cable should I get to pair my 5G ipod, pa2v2 and akg 51dj? I'm looking to spend $30-$40 at most.

How much better would getting these special lineout cables than getting apple's dock that would also allow me to hookup my ac charger?

You are looking for a dock connection to mini plug. Not mini plug to mini plug. Correct?

Wallstreet, I fell your pain. Unfortunity, you're not going to be able to get out of this so cheap. I bought a Sik dock connection to firewire cable (you need usb) for $20.00. (See: http://store.sik.com)

After much prodding and with tear-filled eyes, I bought an $85.00 custom made cable. Night and Day. One of the best $85.00 I every spent. Sorry!

Yes, dock to mini or something that allows me to connect my ipod's lineout to my amp via an interconnect.

I don't think that an $85 custom made cable makes sense for my work setup. The 81dj cablining is quite thin and I don't think I would get any benefit from custom cables unless I recable the 81dj, or get better closed cans.

Has anyone here used the pocket dock lineout/usb? https://www.sendstation.com/us/produ...neout-usb.html
This looks to be a little more in my price range, and headroom mentions it in their ipod section.

I agree. The pocket dock is a better head than the Sik connection.

This will do just fine for $15.00 USD at CompUSA, it comes as an RCA, I have a few and modified one for a mini stereo, one for each of the following, headphone amp, entertainment room, and bedroom stereo. It works just as good as the PocketDock, however the PocketDock does not fit my ShowCase 5g case and the Nyko fits the case.

Hi, I have the 5G Showcase and a Pocketdock, and the fit is fine. There is actually plenty of room. The old Showcase I had for my 4G iPod didn't fit the Pocketdock, but the new Showcase has an oversized opening to allow for after-market docking accessories. -CK

Just tried it, does not fit, no way, however I see you have a 60GB, I have a 30GB, maybe that's the diff.

I'm not competent enough to re-terminate a cable.

How does the universal docks lineout quality compare to the pocket dock and the bling bling?

I have a link in my auction that might tell you more (it's on the bottom of the page): linky

search the forum for user Turbo's Turbodock. You just need to purchase a small cable to go with it.
