Yeah gonk I know about the upgrade, have just been lazy about getting it done.

I definitely agree with mahansm that cable is way over doing it. Go bluejeans cable or even a Radio Shack Y cable. I did see a dock from Wadia:
Wadia iPod Dock

that bypasses the iPod DAC but a bit expensive for me at $349.
