How Can I Use MY IPOD For a Music Source?

I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the best avenue is for putting together a high-end system (speakers, amp, etc...) but running my music data off an IPOD? Is there a converter to take the info from the IPOD to the amp? I tried using a monster RCA connector from my IPOD into my Classe' CP-45 preamp and it was limited on the output. I've recently sold all of my equipment and looking to put a new system together and would like to use my IPOD as the main data base for my music. Thanks for any suggestions you might have.

Does anyone make a device that connects to the iPod through the dock connection? I'm wondering if this would be a better route than the mini-jack.

Thanks for the info guys. I was quit underwhelmed when I tried using my iPod as my music source in my 2 channel system. I plugged it directly to my preamp using an Audience mini plug to RCA adapter. It sounded pretty in an A/B comparison.

It would make sense that dock connectors would be available since that is the way many car adapter work, as Ckorody said, simultaneously charging the unit.

I'm using Apple Lossless and importing them through iTunes, so I was pretty disappointed when it sounded the way it did.
