DAC/AMP RCA interconnects/jumpers?

[motorider]

What is everyone using to connect the DAC and Amps? I have the tone board and atom amp. They are going to be stacked. They are so close, that Im afraid super short ones will prevent the dac from setting level. Just looking for ideas. I can build something, I just need guidance. Thanks.

I am thinking just a super short RCA cable (6 inches perhaps?) would work, no? Perhaps I am misunderstanding your question.

I suppose it depends on how supple the cable is.

If you make your own, assuming you can find some good right angle RCA's that might be the ticket.

Mouser has a few:

I have decided to mount the toneboard near the front of my Atom amp. I will design a 3d printed case. I will be making my own 6" or so long cables.

Ghent Audio on eBay specializes in short cables and I have had good results with several purchases from them. Their A10 cables are especially flexible. I sometimes use 3M Dual Lock low profile Velcro substitute to keep lightweight components from shifting.

No Velcro necessary. It's bolted together.

Very nice! A simple solution that looks like it works well. But is the Atom bolted to the desk?

I wish someone would make Atom Sized/colored blank cases. They would be simple to drill out I expect.

Cables are finished. I had to use a magnifying glass to verify my work. I also checked them with a meter to verify no shorts and continuity. They turned out nice. I am not crazy about the redesigned ends.

Moto, looks neat
