It seems Blue Jeans will not build a custom breakout...so I guess I will need a male rca to male rca adapter. I found a thread with a link/pic to one, but I am unable to find it in the search. Would this set from Amazon work? I'm noobtastic.
On my Duet, the speaker outs are balanced TRS(balanced 1/4 jack), not RCA. My solution is TRS - RCA cables from Guitar Store. I had used these previously on my m1212.

I tried some guitar store cables and they sounded absolutely terrible going to my LD MKV. I've pondered asking one of the DIY'ers who owns a Duet to make me a custom break-out cable for me though, but experimenting with IC's connected to an adaptor to the headphone socket, I don't know if I can hear enough difference to bother.
Really simple solution is to use 1/4 inch male to rca female adapters available at Radio Shack, Guitar Center, etc.......that way you can use your own interconnect. Works a treat for me.
Damn this stupid octopus!
I don't have the duet yet...the website says ;;;Two unbalanced -10 dBV line outputs for powered speakers;;;
Thats not RCA? Then the OP adapter won't work?I am concerned about having as few cables in the chain as possible...
So I guess i would need an ''''''' unbalanced -10 dBV line output to RCA male?
I would just like two little RCA nubs to stick in the amp!
Anyone got a link/pic (not that i don't appreciate the other ideas!)
I don't know why anyone would say that the product linked in your original post would work with a Duet. They must not have a Duet.
You need an adaptor or cable from 1/4 TS (male) to RCA (male). These are extremely commonplace adaptors, and you can find them just about anywhere audio gear is sold.

attempts to DIY a breakout cable have not gone great so far but there are two solutions that I would honestly say are workable and probably not sonic distinguishable from the prefereed high end DIY audio breakout cable.
just get rca to 1/4 inch adaptors from rate shack or guitar center
or
solder a 1/4 inch mono jack on to a pre-existing cable you already own.
Apogee Duet - would this work?
