This shows the metal braid I used around the edge of the board. I suspended it with a cup hook that I screwed into the braid by hand, then I soldered it. The cup hook goes over an aluminum rod inside the headphone rack. With the weight of the board and frame, and cable, it stays perpendicular yet you can rock it forward to remove or install 3.5 mm plugs into input and output. Power comes into the top of the board next to the supporting cup hook. Headphones can stay plugged in, you can use a DAP, switch on the amp, and use headphones without wires tangling. I could have used an eyelet screwed into the top, inside of the rack as well but I used an anodized aluminum rod instead, made by Easton.
Ah, I thought it was laid flat instead of facing out. Thank you for the additional pictures - again, great idea.
