3x3.5mm-to-G9 cable?

I recently purchased a pair of Kinyo KY-100 headphones and they're great. However, the amp they come with isn't so great - it emits a slight hissing noise that's audible during speech and quiet parts of songs (or when nothing is playing) and from time to time, buzzes a bit. I have been putting up with it, but I'm getting sick of it and I would like to bypass the amp. Unfortunately, the headphones have a G9 DIN that plugs into the amp, and the amp takes three 3.5mm jacks. My sound card is a Chaintech AV-512 (CMI8738) and doesn't have a G9 output - it has five 3.5mm jacks (including mic and line in) and one SPDIF. Here's a pic of all the cables that came with the headphones: image. Right now I have the two 6xRCA cables connected to each other, with one minijacked end in the amp and one in my sound card.

I can't seem to find any cables, except possibly the Midiland one, but I'm suspicious that the G9 end of that is male. So, is there any way around the amp? Thanks.

The G9 end of the midiland cable is male, and i think most G9 cables you find are going to be that way. if you are really that attached to those headphones you might want to look for a connector on a site like Digikey or Mouser and make the cable yourself

Thanks for the advice. I don't know a lot about electronics (yet - I'm probably taking 'hardware fundamentals' next spring semester) - how would I make the cable myself? Even though I don't know a lot, I can certainly learn and I can certainly go to Radio Shack, get some little fiddly bits, and give it at try.
