i didnt even know i had it but apparently it came with mylarone x3 (back in july or something). i've been using it for the past few days(dock-mini2mini-headsix/pa2v2), and i have no idea how it compares to those expensive docks b/c i've never tested them before.
has anyone used this thing and other docks? any comparisons?

If your iPod line out hasnt been modified it should sound exactly the same since its using the exact same line out signal from the port.

then whats the point of getting better(more expensive) docks? a lot of un-modded ipod users must be buying those docks for a reason.

There is a really big difference between a line out and the headphone port on an ipod. I found it really varies the sound and a good silver or a copper line out is the way to go. I have listened for a lot of hours and it is really worth the money to get a better line out cord. My two cents worth anyway.

I think pretty much all the docks are exactly the same (except for imod ones)

The expensive ones are priced that way because of the cable attached to it (or who makes it)

that was my guess. just wanted to ask around if i should just plug-in a nice cable to my crossroads dock or buy a more expensive one.

The thing about having a dock connected to a mini to mini is that there is another connection in between them which may degrade a bit of sound quality.

The soldered together LODs do sound better with better cables because they are soldered on.
