Andy, :D … no worries. I didn't know what the audio was coming off that 30-pin either. However, this SHOULD answer the question: http://www.computeraudiophile.com/content/Can-you-get-audio-digital-out-iPad "Submitted by The Computer Au... on Sat, 08/14/2010 - 20:24.

I'm sure it's something very neat but right now I'm lost :~) To answer the question about the iPad outputting digital audio -> The headphone jack is only analog. But the dock connector can output digital audio with the camera connection kit. You can only connect to a 16 bit USB DAC, but at least it's digital out. A good 16 bit DAC for this is the Devilsound / Halide Design DAC." So the answer is — if you use the headphone jack, you get ANALOG audio. If you use anything that plugs into the 30-pin connector, like the Alesis ioDock, you get digital audio.
