looking for ipod dock with rca output

Before anybody says it, yes I know perfectly well that I can connect an iPod to any rca input in an integrated amplifier via its headphone jack. I don't want to do that. I currently have an AV receiver but want to switch to using an integrated amplifier, but what I will be giving up is the simplicity of use of connecting my ipod through a USB port. What I'm having a difficult time finding online is a good quality Dock for less than $100 that is built with the intention of running to a stereo receiver. They all seem to have built in speakers. The closest I can find is the Pro-Ject Dock Box but it is pricey at $250. ( http://www.musicdirect.com/p-99329-pro-ject-dock-box-digital-s.aspx ) Honestly, this functionality is only worth about $50 to me and any more than that I'll be content to live with using the iPod headphone output. If the Pro-Ject Dock Box also had other features like, say, blu tooth connectibility and compatibility with both the iPod Classic and iPhone 5 and 6 then I'd consider it. But it doesn't.

What other options are out there?

 

Are you looking for a dock with the 30-pin connector, or Lightning cable? iPhone 5/6 are gonna be different than iPod Classic.

 

This one is $24.95 https://www.sendstation.com/us/products/pocketdock/av.html

 

If you have an older model with the 30-pin connector, find one of the original Apple docks like this one:



They are selling on ebay for less than $10.

For newer models, with lightning connector, maybe try the $39 Apple Lightning Dock.

 

I need one primarily for an iPod Classic but one that comes with some sort of iphone 5 adapter (if such a thing exists) would be nice. I really do like the looks of Pro-Ject's Dock Box but the main reason why I don't want to spend that kind of money is because Apple no longer makes the Classic. If it breaks tomorrow I don't want to be stuck with a $250 piece of hardware that will be absolutely worthless.

 

Stupid me, I never once considered going to the source. lol

 

I have the old pure i20 works perfectly for old ipod iPhone.

 

The irDock by Arcam fits the bill, it's discontinued but you should be able to track one down. I just got one along with the purchase of the Arcam Solo Music integrated amp/CD player unit.

Here's a link to the user manual:

Onkyo has various models, and sometimes you can control the pod through your Onkyo Receiver remote. Here's one that also has AirPlay capability: Onkyo USA Corporation »

 

Either I'm misunderstanding what you are trying to do, or all you need is this:

Apple Composite AV Cable »

 

What about other external audio components that accept iPods? Yamaha CD players have USB ports that recognize them. Now that I think about it I would love an add on component that has all of the benefits of a networking receiver.
