These certainly have line out pins on the WM-Port. Any know if there is a DIY connector available, or if anyone's working on a dock?

It may be a moot point, as I understand these drive a lot of phones well without an amp...

thanks,

John

Line-out is a waste of time IMO. My A818 sounds really good on headphones after I brightened the highs (1.5dB @ 5kHz) and lowered the bass (0dB @50Hz) in 'test mode'. IT's like CD now.
But I'd be interested if someone hook the Line-in terminal and write the recording piece of software for it.

there is a thread in the sponsors section about alo trying to get one together

Thanks for that, Alan.

By the way, it looks like Sony is making a lineout dock themselves:

I believe that LOD is modified from the recording cable for Sony S700 DAP
You can also buy them from Sonystyle Canada

To discovery pin 1 is very easy, just get a multimeter and test for logic on pin 3 from WM-PORT and the other side of USB connector should make a "beep", if you heard it, so that is the pin 3 (on WM-PORT, the other 2 remaining are pin 2 and pin 1).

I would be all over that dock, but it is pretty "long" and obtrusive.
