I am interested in finding:

1) A mail order source for heavy-duty, high quality, shielded 5 pin DIN
jacks (perhaps this item does not exist).  Basically the jacks one can get
at radio shack are kind of flimsy and of course not shielded.  I can make
my own shield from tin foil so my main concern is the heavy-duty part.  I
often see XLR jacks which have really heavy-duty mounting plates and I
wish I could get 5 pin DIN jacks like that.

2) The name of a company that could make me a converter box which takes a
5 pin DIN input and splits it into 4 mono 1/4" phone jacks.  (I'll make
this myself if necessary but have limited access to tools and time)
