Probably are other options. I'm just saying no one else sells the swan m10 to Canada except for massdrop.

That's pretty nice setup, bit more than what I myself would of used for dac/headphone amp. And for cables you over paid a bit imo. I have DT 990 600 ohm on my to buy list as well.

I sold abduct my 990 250ohm premiums

They're nice headphones, Just too much treble for me.

I won't say anything about the RCA's, as i have a pair of decently expensive Rca -> 3.5mm cables sitting on my desk (Blue jean cables)

But Any digital cable (Usb/hdmi) is completely pointless to pay extra for. It either works, or doesnt.

Blue Jeans are one of best for performance/price and imo they are in cheap category. I wouldn't pick the cheapest cable out there either, but there is no need to pay a lot for cable to be good. As long as they use thick enough "OFC", good connectors and shielding you will be fine.

$40 for Rca's is a bit expensive to me. Seeing how its pretty much all the same & you can get a decent pair for $10 lol



I did however spend about $120 on cables for my q701's :o

Ohh, I tho Blue Jeans are more like 20$? Or you have longer cables?

I was thinking on buying cables for my HD600 as well, but I have decided not to go that way as it wont be worth it.

You can have custom cables made, at the same quality of the crazy expensive cables, For pretty cheap.
