From what I read from very few people, the line-out is supposed to bypass the EQ... right?
Because I have a LOD cable where the audio channel wires are soldered to FireWire Data pins or TBK pins according to Pinouts.ru.
Now, volume control doesn't work: I put the volume up and down and sound volume does not change (iPod -> this cable -> amp -> phones). However the EQ still works and still clips.
So is the iPod Classic supposed to have EQ from line-out or there's something wrong with the cable? I searched everywhere and cannot find anything related to the iPod Classic (160GB late 2009 version).

Lineout bypass internal amp so u cant use Volume

Well... which would mean that EQ is always functional, which means that the iPod EQ is applied digitally into/before the DAC, which sorta explains its crappyness.
Gee, someone should make the Wadia iTransport way smaller.
But could you explain the (seemingly wrong) wiring?
