Ready made cable

looks like $25 for a 24" cable, a 12" is a custom size, they charge $2 more.

Considering the neutrik connectors are almost $6 each + shipping +
cable + labor, that's not too bad a price.

Looks interesting. I've been thinking about making me a dedicated
headphone amp, but just dont have the time to get around to all my
projects. I use a Technics DCC player as my headphone amp. The
headphone amp is very well made in this thing.
