Best sound quality for iPhone (pre 4FL USB E92)

EDIT: I should have mentioned 6FL in the title rather than 4FL!!)

I have a lot of ALAC (Apple Lossless Advanced Codec) songs on my iPhone, and I want to find the best quality connection available to get every bit I can of the quality of these high bitrate files through my stereo. I'm using the BlackBerry Stereo Gateway, which sounds OK, but it still uses compressed audio.

Is connecting the iPhone's line out to the AUX port the only real way to play lossless files? Or is there another method out there that produces better sound quality? Just thought this might be a nice starting point before I even think about investing in a JBL MS-8 and other equipment upgrades.

Thanks!
