Sorry if I've misunderstood this buy aren't you changing 2 things at once which is pointless for narrowing it down. Try leaving as it is but using the internal player, you could also try connecting directly but sticking with Squeezeplay. Sent from my HUAWEI Y300-0100 using Tapatalk

So am I right in saying it's only when in the dock you get the pop? Does Squeezeplayer do the same if just connected directly to the the amp, how about if you use the input on the amp you used for a direct connection with the dock. Again apologies if I'm misunderstanding what happens but it

I'm sorry, but I cannot - in any way - reproduce the non-popping. I tried to many different ways, I believe, and I know suspect that I did something wrong when managing to get it connected and not pop. But, with the volume on maximum and a lower amp-volume it might not be that huge a problem.

To be honest, I can now see that it wasn't all perfect. I have a harsh pop everytime I start, and stop, playing a song. I don't have this with my Touch connected to a receiver. Anyone know why I get it and what to do?

Connecting the phone directly (Tuner line-in) and using stock player doesn't produce the pop. Switching from Aux to Tuner and using Squeeze Player still makes it pop. ButC's Profile:

SB Player I believe is 4.0+ anyway. So Squeezeplayer is the one by default. I personally use Squeezeplayer on several different devices including an old desire Z with 2.3 and it is brilliant, although I do sometimes sync with other players it's not in a location where you can hear both players
