i'm got a full stereo, 3 RCA's required, and want the ipod feature

Eclipse offers a Ipod interface that is a direct input to the cd player. It allows the cd player to control the Ipod and charge the Ipod. No need to even see the ipod. Based on my experience the Eclipse CD4000 + IPC106 is definitely something for you to consider. It will also up your preout voltage to 5 volt, 55 ohms on the front / rear / subwoofer sections. www.eclipse-web.com if this interests you.

Pioneer also makes awesome decks with ipod compatibility. Supposedly the P880PRS is amazing SQ, but I bought a P8600MP off of ebay recently, can't wait for it to arrive, auto time alignment, 3x 5v preouts, full color display, awesome

I'd wait for the new lineup to come out, CDA9885. then you can have highpass, and 4v preouts or even the 9887 with the whole time correction, 24bit DAC, 7 band graphic or 5 band parametric EQ, High Pass/Low Pass filters and the audessy auto tuning feature!
9885 (which is out soon) will probably go for about $339ish and the 9887 (which will come out around may/june) will be about $479ish
*edit*
hell, if you just want to use the ipod, check THIS out, the IDA-X001. No cd transport, just ipod and usb interface...24bit dac and it DOES NOT use the dac on the ipod, uses the 24 bit...also alpine claims it is the fastest ipod deck by far!

should be around the same price as the 9887
