Snuggled away under the lower left corner of the Lightning connector, we find the Apple 338S1077 Cirrus audio codec. This is the same audio codec found in the iPhone 5.

The long, winding ribbon cable road ends at the Lightning dock.

Fortunately, this Apple proprietary technology has been cloned just in time for the release of the iPod. Accessories are soon to follow.
