DIY Line Out Cable - Works!

Low impedance loads are headphones,ear buds and speakers that do not have linein. Lineout connections are not made to drive them. You don’t connect your headphones to the lineout on a home cd player. You don’t hookup speakers to the lineout on a car stereo or home receiver. Lineout specs are generally into a 10k ohm load on the linein, which draws very little current as to not load down the signal. Lineout connections are made for linein connections. If the Griffin Dock was made to drive headphones, it would have a headphone jack supplied from an amplifier stage. It simply does not have this.
