So I got tired of the length of the standard OEM Lightning cable using it with my iPod 5th gen and my Fostex HP-P1. I cut it up, soldered it and put it back together   It certainly doesn't look like a true pro job, but works exactly how I wanted it to and it didn't cost me $100. This was probably covered here before, but I was proud of myself for it actually working after I was done with it LOL.

Well done! I believe you have equalled the finest sounding Lightening - USB A cables in existence.

when you use the stock ipod touch 5G with Fostex hp_p1 and stock ipod player or apps is the volume bar visible?

 

[dgcrane]

It is visible in FLAC player, but does not have any impact on the volume.... That's the only music app I have ever used.

Ah ok, same as my ipod touch 4G and iphone 4 with the Fostex.
 
Strangely my iphone 3 or 3G on earlier OS doesnt show a volume bar, neither do my portable amps(iphone/ipod).
 
How about on the stock ipod player?
 
Thanks.

ALAC? 

 
iphone4 - Accudio app(ATH-ESW9 reference setting)>Qusp custom LOD>Fostex hp_p1 (low gain/filter 2).
 
FLAC/ALAC + 3%mp3.

Really nice work!

Thanks.... I actually redid it to make it as low profile as possible. I took about another inch off I estimate.
