I know very little about cabling, and my English isn't particularly great so I can't really get my point across very well, but I'm buying the Headroom Micro DAC and I'm wondering if I need to buy any extra cables for it. I'm also buying the Micro Amplifier, and I know i'll need a 1/8th to 1/8th cable to connect the amplifier to the DAC, but do I need to purchase a cable that connects the computer to the DAC through USB? (computer is my source). If I have to do so, can someone recommend me a good one I can buy off Headphone.com? Thanks

You'll need this cable.
You can buy those in any shop, they are very common.

Thanks a lot man. I've seen this before but for some reason I assumed it would come included haha. Guess it's another 10$ off the wallet.

Haha this is getting ridiculous. My poor, poor wallet

Different people need differnt lengths, but I agree it would be nice to include the cables.
They can be had cheaper though.

Their portable products some with cables, though for something like the micro the little USB thing that came with my Bithead wasn't nearly long enough for my uses. Besides, I already had a few longer USB Micro cables hanging around anyways.
