Good quality female RCA to female 3.5mm/6.3mm adapter/connect?

I'm looking for a solution to enable me to try listening to my DAC-19DSP directly on my headphones, without an amp, just to see the difference, but I need a quality RCA to 3.5mm connect, or even 6.3mm for this.

 

Please suggest a quality solution, ideally one that I can buy online, or if there is any other solution, mention that too. I'm also not sure how costly such connectors can get, and whether blowing 25$ or so is any good. I have a very modest set up, and would like to keep it under 20$ (if possible, of course). If there's only crap at that price range, I could spend more.

 

Thanks.

I dont think its possible to listen directly from the dac because you need an amp to amplify the sound?

The line level signal from the DAC can be listened to; however it's probably too loud for most headphones and not ideal in terms of...... stuff (I dunno, output impedence, voltage, or whatever?).

^thanks madcow, I never thought about the volume level. Damn. I just wanted to compare with my amp, to check for coloration.

I didnt know that thanks, what you could try once youve got your leads, is to use an inflight adapter that you sometimes get free with phones as this lowers the volume considerably and Ive used it before on low impedence phones on my creek headphone amp because it is too loud.
