Thanks, n_maher, for the info. I do appreciate it. Dusty, yes. Otherwise it's trial and error and I hate it when the violins are on the wrong side. Sue

Serious? He offered to make the cable as a favor to me but he's used to following a schematic. He's an experienced DIY guy but he's never worked with pro gear. In his spare time, he built his entire system (except the turntable and CD transport) from scratch in the 400 square foot shop he built from the ground up in his back yard. Oh, and it sounds great. That includes interconnects, speaker cables, SET monoblocks, push-pull tube monoblocks, tube preamp, tube DAC, tube phono stage, speakers, stands, external crossovers and a sub for each channel. All in beautiful chassis trimmed with African Mahogany and other hardwoods he milled himself. Then there's the gorgeous hardwood rack he designed and built himself. He's also a great cook and makes about 10 varieties of excellent beer. For his last project, he tore out a 40-year old furnace in his house and put in a new one. I could go on but you get the idea.

Hi grawk, Thanks for the info. I showed it to him and he thinks for the positives he needs to use pin 5 for one channel and pin 15 for the other. Is that correct? Also, he doesn't know which pin is right and which is left. He also doesn't know which pins to use for the negatives (or is it grounds, I don't know) and which one of those is left and which is right. Thanks again, Sue

Hi, I'm new to this forum and recently acquired a Duet to use as a DAC with my Mac Mini for a music server. I've seen the cool cables you all have made to replace the stock break-out cable. A friend has offered to make me an output cable with a d-sub connector on one end and 2 RCAs on the other. I showed him the pin-out and he asked me to confirm which pins on the d-sub to use for what. If anyone can supply this information, I would be grateful. Thanks for your help. Sue
