Thanks.

I was wondering why the white cable would be the better option. As I understand it, with the Y-cable, you have the iPod do the playback. With the white cable, files are being transfered to the car and then the car does the decoding and playback (hence DRM files can't be played). Wouldn't the iPod own DAC be superior?
