I won't upgrade my ipod touch 4th gen to anything lightening until there is at the very least a compact one piece LOD available, but I am really holding out for a lightening to usb host adapter to drive my portable dac/amp directly.

Sorry guys for the delay. I was jail breaking my iPhone and iPad Mini. ADL (Alpha Designs Ltd) have a mfi certified lightning cable that works straight from the iPhone 5 etc to a DAC. I took a photo of the brochure page. If you need more info let me know.

Are you sure it will allow digital out to any dac?  Looking at their catalog (http://www.adl-av.com/pdf/adl_catalog.pdf), this just appears to be an Apple approved regular lightning cable; meaning I still wouldn't be able to send digital out to my Leckerton UHA-6 b/c that dac is not a mfi device.

I asked the company and they said it would. Maybe worth double checking. I will get one myself soon so will update thread.

That is indeed just the ADL version of the standard Lightning cable. I have the 30-pin version. If you have one of the Apple approved DACs with a USB-A socket then all the recent iDevices can be used as digital transports.

Hey guys!
Might be kinda off topic but i just chopped my stock cable like attached and it works fine.

Due to the authentication chip,i assume it will be difficult to make a lod cable,and would be easier to just get the 30pin converter.
