It's great to see you finally finishing your diyMod! I will add the very interesting photos when I get home from work. You have crystallized what I theorized with the CF adapter, and for that, I thank you for your dedication to this thread. Thank you for sharing the mod, and I'm sure many others, quiet as they are, are grateful for your work. Cheers!

I know I would appreciate you sharing your photos. I'm always looking for better photos with which to update the front page, so anything helps. I've found that the line out signals usually just have the CRL filter between the DAC and the dock, so it'll be interesting to see how it works in this version. Please feel free to share away.

It's cause of hard-working guys like you that somehow keep this old thread alive. So far, it's sitting at third most replies and fourth most views of non-stickied threads. Let's keep the magic alive.

Joneeboi - Did that picture I posted with the closeup of the caps and resistors help? When I start working on my Millett MAX (hopefully in a few weeks) I will buy the parts to mod my 3G at the same time, and I'll post some pictures of the mod process.

Your photos, as with all photos, is greatly appreciated. With the 25 photo per thread limit, I'm reminded why I somewhat started on a website for this stuff. Wow, I need to start on that.

Keep us posted on the mod. What parts do you need to buy for your diyMod that you can plop together in an order for your MAX? All I'm envisioning is a pair of caps and some wire, unless you're buying a new soldering station or some premium items from parts conneXion.

Exactly, the caps and wire.

About the soldering station: I'm just using 40w and 15w RadioShack irons right now, and I can still do decent work with them. However, I know the value of decent irons (used a weller at work), and I am toying with the idea of getting a decent soldering station. Any recommendations? Think any headfi-er will do a used sale? Or am I better off buying a new one?

edit- Oh, I'd also like to pick up a dock connector and 3.5mm connector to make a LOD... Need interconnect wire too... Dang, I need to study up on the DIY cable thread.

I am picking up a new soldering station soon (likely a Hakko 936), so I'm a little biased.

Researching the Hakko 936... quite tempting...

edit - Out of these tips (medium size), which two additional tips would you recommend to cover everywhere from regular work to very fine work? Remember that it comes with the 900M-T-1.6D tip already.
