I've got a Harmon Kardon Drive + Play for my iPod and car stereo. The Drive + Play runs a wire to the dock connector. Unfortunatly, I almost prefer my old setup of running a mini audio plug out of the top iPod headphone jack to a tape deck through a cassette adaptor because the sound is more robust and louder. This robustness is through benefit of the pre-amp before the audio out plug. My Question is: Has anybody heard of (or would it be easy to build)a compact, in-line pre-amp(No Speakers) that would fit between the iPod dock connector and the male cable that plugs into the dock connector. I know there are aftermarket pre-amps (boost-a-roo) that go in-line between (and split)the iPod audio jack and headphones or speaker system, but there got to be a pre-amp option for mobile head units and ? connecting through the dock. Anybody know?
The whole line-up consists of the $60 Amps in-ears and $100 Tracks on-ear headphones, which both also come in slightly souped-up and pricier HD variations at $100 and $130, respectively.
