Best way to Connect IPOD to Hi-Fi.


Any input would be helpful [IPOD to RCA].
Was thinking of the Monster Cable, but thought you guys might have a better idea.
I do want to keep the cost under $100, so nothing too fancy.
Thanks.

I am looking for a easy connect.
Not something that requires an external DAC.
Either a headphone or 30pin to RCA cable or a dock to RCA solution.
Going into a Plinius 9100.
Thanks.
Belkin make a decent iPod 'Y' cable (stereo 3.5mm plug to 2 RCA's), about $30. I have one and it does a great job.

For better sound, Apple make a well-regarded ipod dock for about $100, (uses the line-out of the ipod rather than the headphone jack, bypassing the ipod's volume control) and connect that to any line-level input on your amp.
I paid $20 for an Ipod dock out to RCA's. Belkin i think. Sounded much better than the mini out to RCA.
We have had wonderful results with Both Kimber Hero and Kimber Silver Streak.
This cable is available in sizes sizes from 1/2 met 1 met 1.5 and longer if needed. My take on the Hero was nice open solid bass line The Silver streak took on a another level of transparency both are great values and support is 1st class if service were ever needed.

Before I bought Wadia iTransport, I used Zu Cable Pivot directly from iPod to pre, and it sounded pretty darn good. Paid about $40 on eBay. Very well-made cable.
