So is there a reasonably priced version of this:

I don't personally believe in a relation between cables and SQ. (Don't argue please) so I refuse to pay $100 for what's clearly a $0.99 cable. Is there anywhere that sells these for a legitimate price?

Okay, so from here it's $32 USD. That's at least "reasonable". Since that's how much it'd be if you bought it straight from apple (if they made one). Unfortunately, I can't read Chinese, so I have no idea what to do.

If that's a $100 it's a rip off. $32 sounds to high as well. You have to have angled plugs? If not v-moda has a nice one for $25 http://v-moda.com/tuono-lightning-cable/

Yea I see that, angled plugs are a lot nicer though, mostly since it'll be less prone to breaking the cable and can sit straight up better.

  Venturecraft will also release an updated cleaner version as seen below later the year 2013.
(The final version will be shorter, the same length as the the 30 pin cable).
 

 
 

Thanks for this thread.
 
Anyone know where to get that Venturecraft currently in the US?

It's okay. I had a fantastic custom one made for me, much cheaper too

Yeah, I figured...but never hurts to ask, u' know?  So you're saying...you can use the cck to send the digital signal to a DAC of your choosing, but then you don't get charging of the lightning-iDevice...but if you want charging AND a DAC, the DAC must be MFI (apple tax) approved, and you gotta pick one from the list in my post. (http://www.head-fi.org/t/705955/idevice-lightning-charging-dac-amps).   Those evil apple beestards!

Everyone just needs to jailbreak! You can bypass that freaking thing with a tweak!

Are you saying with jailbreak you can bypass the mA restriction? If so I'm jailbreaking my 5s immediately.

I'm like 80% sure.

But thats apple certified devices. I'm talking about a restriction that limits how many mA's a device can pull from the port. 2 separate issues, although the non certified accessorie bypass is def useful.
