Interconnect cables help: sound card -> amp

Hi!
Well I'm going to plug in my Audigy2ZS to my Little DOT 2 amp soon, and currently the cables I use to output on my A/V receiver are quite cheap and not sheilded. You can hear noise interference, the noise above the actual PC harddrive etc noise.

Since I don't upgrade my source yet, I won't go to Zu cables or any similar great cables that reveals a great source.

I want good cables that will just get the noise out from the bunch of other cords behind my PC, or from interferences from the left and right channels.

So no 40$ cables, I better by Zu cable...
And please suggest me urls as a simple referal to radio shack won't help, that's where I buy those bad cables.

I'd see a 20$ cable could do the job, but i'm a newb and it's an opinion.

Help me Masters!

You won't be able to get 20 dollar cables that accomplish this task with performance. You might as well get Rat Shack cables and converters.

For fourty bucks, you can get one of these:

Just choose a "mini to RCA stereo" option and off you go.

I've read that the above referenced cable is excellent. But if you just want something cheap that will filter out that RF noise:

(Acoustic Research Y-Adapter Cable (1 mini to 2 male))

Can be had even cheaper from froogle.

Hi!
Thanks for your sugestions.
Found some interresting ones.

Monster Standard® Interlink® Portable 200-Stereo RCA to 1/8" Mini

Interlink® Portable 400 MkII Bandwidth Balanced Stereo RCA to 1/8" Mini

Still looking at the specs, looks like the perfect balance of quality I need.
Wonder if the last one will really give the extra quality for the price.

Any specs masters could peak a little to see which of both cables they would take?

I would recommend the same AR cable that Doug did. Don't get caught up in the specs of cables.
