i just bought a sendstation pocketdock for my 4g ipod. this particular pocketdock has a line out port and a firewire port. i bought the unit for the line out feature. i've been unhappy when plugging my ipod into my car stereo via my headphone jack because i don't feel the music is loud enough.
i plug my ipod into my car stereo via a tape adaptor. today when i plugged the tape adaptor into the line out port, the sound was terribly distorted. in order to make sure it wasn't a problem with the pocketdock, i also plugged the tape adaptor into the line out port of the ipod dock. same result.
however, when i plug either the pocketdock or ipod dock into my home stereo via line out with audio cables, the sound is excellent. does anyone know why the tape adaptor sounds so bad when fed via the line out output?
