DIY Line Out Cable - Works!

That’s kind of depressing if line-out is not accessible, though I don’t see why they wouldn’t simply allow the use of the pre-amped output from the AS3525.  The AS3525 also has a third output, already amped for external speakers, though I am sure this output is not enabled in the Fuze.  Thanks so much for all your research into this, hopefully there is a way to access a pre-amped signal from the Fuze, I would hope that SanDisk would have taken advantage of this great chip on what is supposed to be their flagship player.
