I am slowly working through the production of these. If you are on the order list please hold on I am still behind, and still have yet to make the cables that come with the unit. Anyhow here they are, pretty sweet and sound awesome.

They look great, congrats!!!!
Just one question, how would this work? Would I have to still purchase an IMOD Dock Cable to connect it to the Vcap Dock and then a mini to mini to connect to the amp? I'm just a little confused at how this is going to work. Also what cables can we use if we are using an IMOD?
Thanks in advance,
Izzy

The way this works is that you have your 5th gen iMod, and you take any iPod line out dock to mini cable (with the L/R/Gnd pins enabled) to connect the iMod to the V-Cap Dock. Then, you'll need another cable, such as a mini to mini, to connect your V-Cap Dock to any amplifier with a mini input. Alternatively, you can use the RCA outputs to output to an amplifier with RCA inputs, or you can mix and match RCA-to-mini and vice versa, and it should still work fine.
As I understand it, the V-Cap dock includes an iPod Line Out Dock to Mini cable, so the only other cable you'd need to supply is the output from the V-Cap Dock.
It is important to note that you do NOT use an IMOD Line out dock cable here, with the built in black gate caps inside. I don't know if this is harmful but it is certainly redundant. Instead, the V-cap dock houses the capacitors, so basically you just need a "wire" from the iMod to the caps.
Looks good Ken. One question though - is the cable that comes with the V-Cap the same pin configuration as the iPod Line Out Dock? Are they interchangable? Thanks.

Looks great, Ken!
Thanks that makes alot of sense just one question (sorry about my ignorance) but what does (with the L/R/Gnd pins enabled) mean?
Thanks again,
Izzy

Hey, a great document from iPod Linux on the dock connector config will give some technical info. The line out dock needs to have 3 pins enabled. There are a ton of other pins, but none of these matter as long as they are not enabled. All the line out dock needs is the Left channel, right channel, and the ground pins. As far as I know.
Update and Pics of the Portlable Vcap Docks
How would this work????????
Linear Mode
