Sansa Fuze docking station quality

The variable-volume line out probably isn’t an issue of quality as much as convenience. Line-out normally falls within some specific values, so if you switch between a CD player, game console, TV set-top box, etc, the volume will be fairly consistent. With variable line-out on the dock, the volume will be lower than everything else unless you crank it all the way up. When you listen to it with headphones, you’d better remember to turn it down again, too!
