Hi Ken,

Don't you have plan to include in you're product line an ALO interconect for Sony A800 series DAP? Maybe a lot of A800 owners would be interested on it including me.

Thanks,
Jon

Hey Jon,

Does the A800 have a line out signal? and is the A818 new'er and about the same? Thanks for the post.

Hi Ken,

As far as I know the A800 and the A810 series are the same with the exception of the use of sonic stage.

There is a docking station that I have herd has a line out. I can check it out myself the next time I go to the sony style store.

The A8xx itself doesn't have a line-out

But the dock has one

Hi Ken,

The A808 has line out as per my service manual and I presume its just the same as with A818, I think they only differ in the micro processor chips but dacs and amp/audio switch section is the same.

Thanks for considering Ken it would be great if you can make Alo interconnect for us Sony lovers.

Regards,
Jon

And neither does say... an ipod, you just have to tap into it

If the dock has a lineout, you know the player is putting out, so to speak!

I have the schematic diagram of A808.

Hey Tad,

Yes that would be good. I need to perhaps order the connector from somewhere and send it to my connector company to see if they might have something I can work with.

I am still working on your interconnects also.

Thanks

Ken

Hey Basman,

Yeah that would be helpful, can you email me this?

Also does any one know where I can order some accessory that has the connector I can use to examine? Something that is not $$$ because I will just need the connector part.

I guess I will have to break down and buy one of these players.

Thanks

Hi all! I'm new here. Thinking of DIY'ing the lineout interconnect. Got a question for you guys :

Anyone knows which pins on the A81X and S61X connectors are for line out?

If someone here has the dock BCRNWU3, it'll be good if you can do a continuity test on the line out jack and the connector to find out which pins are for line out.

Hi Ken.....I'd be very interested in a lineout interconnect for a NWZ-A818 . These new Sony DAP 's have been getting a lot of love here on Head-Fi (as well as other forums) ....and for good reason. I'm sure an ALO L/out interconnect would be a definite winner all round . Heres hoping you can pull it off Ken..
