Hey,
I have purchased an Apple iPod dock to use to connect my iPod to my headphone amp. Amp has line-in or RCA inputs, and the dock has either a 3.5mm line-out socket or you can purchase an Apple AV cable that connects to the dock connector.
I haven't purchased a cable yet and wanted to know if anyone had any opinions on which cable would be the best to use to connect the dock to my amp (i.e. is there a difference in sound quality between the 3.5mm out and the AV out using the cable that connects to the dock connector)?
The output volume can be adjusted using the remote included with the dock so if using line-out does that mean it's not true line-out and I should not conenct that to a line level input on my amp?
Cheers!
