NOTE: There has been much discussion about this not being a true line out signal, which is probably true. A true line out would be unaffected by volume or tone with constant output. It seems to be all we have to work with in the Fuze though. The volume needs to be at about 50% or greater (doesn’t really increase much from that point on, like the griffin dock). The signal is noticeably stronger than using the headphone out and is still distortion free.


My understanding is that it’s a true line-out.  The volume adjustment is applied digitally in the DSP before the analog output stage and the analog signal is not altered in any way.  The voltage on the line-out should be constant.

This is quite different from many (all?) ipods where the volume adjustment is applied to the analog signal, causing a variable output and poor sound quality.
