How I built an iPod Connector
Feb 13, 2007 at 2:34 AM Post #17 of 106
Bump this for people that might interested.
I am certainly one since i will need a good dock connector to test the great IC Cantsleep is building me and other head-fier.
And although i already have a good Qable LOD it would be usefull to have a female connector to put other type of IC to it like RCA cable and whatnot.
I will try to build one and let yall know of my results

Do you guys know where i can find an Ipod Dock Connector for cheaper and faster?

Hi Guys,
I have been lurking here for a while and learned a great deal (yes the wallet has been suffering too

). Since been to the forum my PC sound and portables have started to sound amazing. I always thought of compressed audio to be inferior and cannot sound good. Well, I was wrong. Since coming here, I got a Chaintech, a Zhoalu DAC and a PortaPro/KSC75, and couldn't be happier!

I also want to share my first DIY cable pic.

Canare cables and Neutrik Profi plugs. It sounds great and has been a lot of fun.
Thanks guys!
PS: my first post here.

Which Canare cable did you use? I'm thinking of going the braided silver path, but Canar coax looks tempting.

I built my first ipod line out using this thread. Thanks!

I think a tutorial on soldering lots of wires into this connector would be awesome. I was thinking about removing all but the 3 useful pins, soldering the extra pins onto the 3 pins to extend them inside the case, and soldering multiple wires to each pin.

I'll be doing a tutorial for making a Zen LOD as soon as i get some free time to sit down for a few hours and crank one out.

Provided I can get my camera to take photos as close up as the OP...

Great tutorial, btw!
