iPod to DAC

Is there a way? My brother is coming for a visit and he is curious how to do this if possible.

You could run analog output but that's not optimal in my view. I stream directly from iTunes through a Waveterminal U24 external sound card. Works great. I run the digital signal straight to my system. harry

I may give the USB DACs or interfaces a look, but I bought it more for my car and for travel. Still, it'll be fun to compare it to my transport/DAC combo at home. Dean
