Where to buy an affordable line out cable for the Touch?
I would like to try it with an external amp!

P.S.: no composite TV out, please!
I need only audio

There are many places to pick up iPod LODs. eBay is a good cheap source or you could try www.qables.com

BTW, the Touch really shines through the line out.

I'd suggest contacting one of the many cable makers on these forums and having one made to your exact specifications.

I've used stevenkelby twice in the past and I recommend his work. Other known and trusted cable makers include barqy, Punnisher and TURBO, among others.

yeap, get 'em from one of the DIY'ers..... but before you embark on that path I should warn you that the SQ gain from the headphone out of the 'Touch' is not much when using the LOD. I have an ipod touch32 using a lod and fed to my pico and the sound difference is not much when using IEMs. If you're planning on using a full-headphone such as a HD650/K701 with the 'Touch' then by all means get an amp and LOD.

so, the line out or the touch doesn't sound better than headphone out?
This is not a good news!

It certainly does, but the difference is small enough that you shouldn't expect anything very substantial. Provided you're using a good amp, you should hear a slight improvement when using IEMs.

One question, please...
The dock connector of the Touch is the same used by a generic iPod or is different?
Just for example, a cable good for an iPod Classic will work also with the Touch?
Many thanks!

Yup, same ol' Dock Connector.

If you need one, contact Stevenkelby. He made one for me, the build quality is awesome, his service is excellent, he is really friendly and his prices are pretty good. I asked for one with a female jack on it to use with many mini minis, he made it for me and I love it
