# 1 Re: iPod ICE link
I am also considering one but I'm a little worried that the sound is coming from the headphone jack not the line out. Is that what you understand?bighairy at 2007-11-15 15:58:41 >

you are right...the signal does come from the headphone jack...why would that concern youlonnie_20 at 2007-11-15 15:59:41 >

The line out signal from the bottom connector (as via the dock) bypasses the headphone amp so is a bit cleaner. Unfortunately the only other way of getting this Line out signal (the Belkin Car adaptor) is also corrupted by a cheap amplifier.In practice, however, you'll only be able to hear the difference on a pretty good car set up I'd guess.

No, because it takes the sound from the headphone socket, you're using the iPod's headphone amp instead.bighairy at 2007-11-15 16:02:44 >
