clever idea

true if you have a soldering iron, buy a female 1/4" jack, add some wire inbetween, and terminate to 1/8".

weird, cat5 cable here (at dollar stores) is stranded. either way, solid/stranded, both work as interconnect

cat5 works stranded copper after all...

the above is 22awg solid silver (99.99%) insulated w/ teflon (clear) i prefer silk or cotton insulation over teflon thoughl

cool here's a silver dock i made aw hile back:

try percyaudio.com although i haven't ordered from them before, i heard 'good' thigns over at head-fi.

to fill the hole use several layers of heat shrink to 'fill it out' use 20-24awg wire and you should be fine... what plugs are you using? i recommend hot glueing the connector down too so the pins are 'stablized', otherwise it'll get shorted real fast. post pix.

itouch works with Ipod LOD (same pin out)~ just that the iphone is problematic (i think?)

does the HD590 leak sound (like 595?) if so...portable solution might not be good. unless you want the entire bus listening to your tunes too

what about the little tube II+? what do you all think about that amp? it has a warm sound and the price is good darkvoice probably blows it out of the water thoughn? I haven't tried both (little tube II is coming in though!) Little tube II can be had for around $100USD i think (used) cheers

^ agreed. maybe your DT phones have a problem w/ the 1/4" connector You could always reterminate the 1/4 to 3.5mm If the adapater your using is the same one i have for my hd595, i'd advise against using it too much b/c there is no extra wire for the adapter which puts a lot of strain on your jack

dont you find the ep630s a bit muddy? similar to sony ex71 sound?

hey no problem you probably found/know this already but here is the pinout for the ipod dock: http://pinouts.ru/PortableDevices/ipod_pinout.shtml

cool beans~ post pictures when finished so we can all enjoy if you need help (verbally), I can assist you for making ipod dock since i have made a few before. i would suggest removing all the pins except 2,3,4 (ground,right,left) to minimize any interference and makes it a lot easier to work with... you could leave pin 1 too if you want to ground/bridge to pin 2 (but i never do) good luck!
