universal dock? 3rd party ones I suppose? I think almost all dock, original or third party has true line-out. use that if you are connecting your ipod to a speaker....the headphone out is quite crappy....imho.

the first time I connected the ipod headphone out to my speaker.....it was totally disappointing.....poor dynamic range....lots of distortion and crackling sound.....and the funny thing is...the EQ doesn't work biggrin.gif (it works but it distort stuff like hell) but if you use the line out...the EQ actually works perfectly!

mmm last time use lineout with headamp....now just plug my px100 into the headphone directly....gonna convert back to headamp + IEM soon....can;t stand the px100 already. sad.gif

oh btw, if you run your ipod through a line out and then to a headamp...it would save the ipod some battery since you can now set the volume to 0 and it doesnt drive the headphone directly.

mmmm no need lar....just go http://www.sendstation.com/us/products/poc...lineout-fw.html

keep an eye there coz sometimes they give free shipping. I bought it sometime during katrina...the shipping was free...only had to pay 19usd. there was once they give out a firewire dock for free....you only need to pay for shipping.

ps: it may sound bad...but when there is some serious natural dissaster....they will give free shipping tongue.gif (they use the "shipping fees" to donate to the unfortunate)

actually...it is not that small....sweat.gif if you are wondering how big it is....put your two tumbs parallel to each other....it's almost that wide and probably half the length.

You dun run a headphone directly from the line out....the output power of the line out would probably destroy a earphone with short exposure. You need to run the ipod to an amp(headamp/speakeramp).

edit: let me take this opportunity to introduce this to you guys:

ah, finally someone else who doesnt think the Sony's isolation is good biggrin.gif

if it's isolation you're looking for, the next step for IEMs (and locally available) are the Etymotic ER-6i, Shure E2c, Panasonic HJE-70
the etys are really good at isolating, but they're really overpriced locally and over your budget (so are the shures)
not sure about the Panasonic's isolation though

it's the same size as a credit card biggrin.gif

i think you can only get the ety er6/6i for around RM400. I have not heard of the er6i, but the er6 sounded like crap and I sold it 2-3 days after I got it.
