AV TV VIDEO AUDIO CABLE FOR SANSA VIEW E280 E270 E260 - eBay (item 180245416714 end time May-21-08 20:22:06 PDT)


wanna make one yourself???

welll



pin 3 & 4 need connected or 'bridged', this makes the device think it's docked

Pin 8 needs to go high, which on the dock a 47k resistor brings the 5v down to 3v. On the C240, I have found pin 21 and 22 provide 3v. So pin 8 is jumped to pin 22 and the device (w/ Sansa Firmware) connects the audio channel on the dock/ muting the headphone channel.

Audio is provided through Pin 27 & 28 with Pin 30 being the dedicated audio ground.

The above info isnt verified yet ok! Its the latest info only.

The Sansa Clip doesn't have that type of connection.

Maybe he meant the Sansa Fuze

Indeed, a regular USB Mini-B port is all there is on the Clip.

Would be nice if there was a lineout cable for the clip.

The headphone out of the Clip performs already very well without a load: RightMark Audio Analyzer test : Sansa Clip

Sure, a real line-out would be nice, but we already have a very decent signal coming from that tiny box.

The sound out of the clip amazes me,especially through good iems. The only reason i can see somebody amping this thing for is if they like the "colouration" of the music certain amps give when paired with certain iems. It's all about the synergy i guess. Personally i don't use an amp with this player, i think at the moment it is the closest to perfection you can get from any player of it's size and function.

If I'm not mistaken then the Clip is using a similar chip (Sigmatel) to the 1st gen shuffle. Something about "push-pull" technology. If that's true, it wouldn't be a good idea to amp the clip anyway..

Can someone concur?

 

[dfkt]

The Clip uses and AMS (Austria Microsystems) AS3525 SOC, no Sigmatel.

Oh that's good to know. I was sure the Sansa Express and the Clip uses the same chip.
All this time I've been reading ppl here praising the Clip SQ and thought that same goes to the Express that I own.

Another reason to by the Clip I guess. Dam' it.

Here's some more info on the new Sansas, from a Rockbox hacker - the View seems to be the (not so cool) exception: SanDisk Sansa Series v2

It makes no sense why the DAP makers don't provide line-out functionality with the USB port. I'd certainly like to see some updates with a great many of the various brands doing the line-out thing. I'm perfectly satisfied with the HP as line-out but having an option is always appealing.

 

[Mr_Junesequa]

Amended the title. As per my online research abip best site so far, a line out has been found for sansa players ( used the clip title as its the most popular). using the sansa firmware, bypassing the hp out and acting as if the player was docked. had no idea the clip only had a usb out...damn!

the aftermarket griffin/sansa docks seem to provide an external power source...

 

[rjp]

I picked up a couple of Sansa docks from Griffin - they dropped the price from $40 to $15. When I ordered them, I saw a little notice that they were discontinuing the product.

Get 'em while you can!

On the Sansa forum the developers confirmed that the Fuze differs from the rest of the Sandisk players, because you need to connect 3.3v to one of the pins for the line-out to be enabled (on the rest of the players this pin needs to be grounded), and that's why there's no line-out cable for the Fuze and you need a powered docking station.
The line-out could be enabled manually, but it's up to Sandisk whether they'll include it in the firmware or not.
