What component allows DIP to be connected with Dupont style jumper wires?
You might look into wire wrap sockets which look like this

Or you could use a breadboard:

If you are ok with using jumper cables with one end having a male pin, you can push your IC into the breadboard and use your jumpers to connect to it. Breadboards are pretty standard for electronics prototyping, and typically people plug their components into them and use short jumpers to make connections where required.
