I have a 3G iPod with dock, and I want to make a line out dock for my cmoy. Looking at commercial prices though, they seem a bit high. Considering you can get really cheap iPod dock connector to 3.5mm jack connectors on eBay for a few pounds, I was wondering what justifies the difference in price?

Sure, the eBay efforts are very cheaply made, but many look like they have clip-together dock connectors so it should be easy enough to disassemble them and solder on some better wire/connectors. The dock connector itself is probably cheap, but I just can't imagine it's that bad - especially compared to using the headphone jack.

Thanks for that. All my searches only came up with expensive ones.

I'd still like to know why some people charge £50 for their LOD cables though. Seriously - why would you spend that much money on one? I can understand if you are gullible and want to buy expensive cables for your hifi system, but for a portable iPod? Where you will probably use earbuds or IEMs? With lots of outside noise? Am I missing something?
