Ipod Docks and the Iphone 5

[John Duncan]

UPDATE: The lovable gadgetscamps on our sister magazine Stuff are now saying Apple has confirmed to them that the Lightning-to-dock-connector adapter does have a DAC built-in. Story updated here

Luckily they all sound the same.

That is surprising, though, it has to be said...

Indeed – given what I said above, and the fact that Apple was being rather evasive with us and only making very general remarks on the understanding they were off the record, I was very surprised indeed.

Not that I'm affected yet running an iPod classic through a digital dock, but I have no desire for an adaptor with built in DAC, although considering how widely supported Apple products are, I'm sure someone will be more than happy to sell me a new product (lightning to USB converter/dock or lightining to Optical converter/dock) to milk some more money out of me if I need to upgrade/replace my soon to be (?) obsolete digital dock.

So will someone come up with a cleaver work round or could we all be able to pick up some bargains in the not too distant future?

I would imagine that some sort of adapter will appear rather quickly (and cheaply). Doh, someones got there already.
