errrmmmm.....

why would you want to do that??

it may make noise when you plug headphones into a lineout signal, but its gonna sound crap as a line-out just isnt powered to drive headphones. it will be loud, but will sound crud. as for the USB tutorial; waaaayy too busy at the moment to do anything like that and I dont have any orders coming up for that specific LOD. sorry but i'm not really up for making one just to show you how to do it. you could use this tutorial for some of it, but there is a LOT different about it once USB is added. routing becomes an issue. no way will it fit in the LOD connector punnisher links, the only way is to use epoxy or some other form of putty/acrylic. use as thin wires as you can manage for the usb and solid core is best for the power wires. sorry I cant help more; under the pump at the moment with work.

any help is appreciated! Thanks

Ill see if I can start to undertake it!

 

[DoYouRight]

excellent! will attempt one tomorrow

Aaaaaand a month later, he asked, "How did it go?"

I really want to figure out a low profile LOD like this, but I also want it to have USB passthrough. Sort of like a low profile Sendstation.

I am wondering;do i need to put any resistors to make a lod for Itouch 2gen.I think i have read it somewhere but can't remember now.In the first post;there's a link to ipod connector pin out;it's also for Iphone 3g so i am assuming it's gonna be identical for touch?Am i right;if not can someone explain then?

Nope, for Touch 2G just connect pin 11 to pin 15 and you're done.

 

[jawor121]

OK,i see so basically it would be 2,3,4 and 11 and 15 left over?Then 2 is a ground,3 and 4 channels and then 11 and 15 connected together.I thought it's gonna be complicated than that.

 

[Bonthouse]

Use 2 for left, 3 for right, bridge 11 and 15 and simultaniously use them as ground. Easier that way

Edit: Typo, I accidentaly said that 3 was for ground where it actually is for the right signal

 

[jawor121]

Ok,thanks for explaining.It's even easier now.I gotta order all components now and then have some fun soldering it.

Just want to remind people about my video on this: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f6/vid...od-lod-405383/

Oh yeeeeeeah, I remember that video. Thanks Cap'n.

I had a bit of a question, or maybe perhaps it's already been answered. I was wondering why and in what applications you would use either/both capacitors and resistors in the constructions of a DIYLOD. I saw in other DIYLOD posts for the Zen and the Fuze that a capacitor/resistor is required. I vaguely remember that capacitors were necessary as a DC-filter that prevents your headphones from being damaged if your amp doesn't have a DC-filter built in. This doesn't have one. Is this okay?

Thanks so much for such an informative post. Just out of curiousity. On your list of required parts, why is it you say "Don't go thicker than 22AWG."?

Thanks again.

Punnisher said 2 is ground, 3 is right and 4 is left, and said to bridge 1 or 2 to 11, or use a second ground wire in the cable to 11. He and Hans at Qables both said that will work with iPhone or 2G Touch.

It sounds very different from what you posted above. Can you clarify please? Thanks!

You use the resistors if you use your LOD on an iPhone or iPod Touch. Because the iPhone has a built-in speaker, it won't default send an audio signal to the dock. You have to load the pins to 'tell' the iPhone that something else is taking care of the sound so send me the signal and mute the internal speaker.
