Default WTB: A Resistor Adaptor/Attenuator

I am curently looking for a resitor adaptor to diminish hiss detected when listening to my sony 829 DAP (you may have read my thread in the portable source gear forum inquiring about the possibility). I would be looking at the cable providing 75 ohms of resistance, prefarably. I am not fussed if its a commercial model being passed on second hand nor if its a homemade one, provided you can endorse its quality and reliability.

Cheers,

Stephen

I have now purchased an adaptor from a member. However, I may still be interested in an adaptor of resitance 50-100 Ohm. Any offers pm me.

Thanks, Steve

No, I havn't tried using ebay. I'm not such an experienced ebayer so I've probs, subconsciously put myself off doing it. I'll check it out, I think. However, forgive my naiviety, I'm from UK; I am aware there is an ebayUS and an ebayUK, as a registered UK ebayer can you still buy/seller internationally? Thats assuming the said seller is outside the UK lol

Don't you think that these barrel type adapters may damage the socket of the headphone out?

Like those barrel style 1/4" to 1/8" barrel type adapters are not a good idea.

The Awwan adapters are really small. With an average IEM plugged into them they're still smaller than a 3.5/6.2mm plug on most full-sized cans. I don't think they would put too much strain and leverage on a jack.

the ones from head-direct are cable: so a small 3,5 mm jack to 3,5 mm jack with about 15 cm of total cabling in between - they make the same amount of stress on a jack as plugging say a 3,5 cabled dt880 or 650: so much less than the barrel adapters. check them out -- i have one (had two for some reason) - they are called dowin cable i think @ 75ohm
