The dock connector provides a pure 'line-out' from your ipod. This is an unamplified signal, so the quality is as good as it is possible to get.
The Belkin cable is not a proper 'line out'. It has a pre-amp built in which boosts the signal and in doing so it damages the signal quality.
In effect you may as well just plug the cable into the headphone port on the ipod. In fact as the ipod's pre-amp is better than the Belkin one you would be better of doing this.
The differences are much more subtle in the e90 than in my 530d (the retro-fit aux input for the e60 is not great), but the Monster still sounds better.
I wouldn't suggest that you rush out and replace your cable, but if you are buying one for the first time I would recommend the monster one.
