Line Out Docks (LOD) are typical 30-in connectors which snap into the bottom of an iPod or iDevice to grab the line-level audio information without a hint of the headphone amplifier. They can be big or small, and all speaker docks make use of LODs in one form or another.

A few good companies are:

ALO (http://www.aloaudio.com/) - Audio Line Out who make the excellent ALO Rx (http://www.touchmyapps.com/2009/11/24/alo-rx-portable-headphone-amp-in-review/) headphone amp

Twisted Cables (no website yet) - Brainchild of Headfier Qusp (Jeremey Glover - Email ([email protected])), fastidious and new cable maker

Qables (http://www.qables.com/) - From the Netherlands, home of the excellent portable headphone amp, iCube (http://www.i-qube.nl/index.php?id=16)
