  Just curious, what kind of RCA interconnects are you guys using to connect your dac to your amp? 
 
Cheap generic ones or expensive cables? 

I use the PYST cables.

  Monoprice, cheap but built decent.

 
Most of the time.  Out of 6 RCAs that I have one single outer ring part, the copper coated thing with the four slits that goes over the male RCA, was way too tight so I tried to bend it a little but it snapped off.  Naturally I had to snap off the other three on the other three ends for symmetry, but everything is fine with that cable now.  For a few bucks, who cares.
 
I have about 20 of their power cords in various lengths and all those have been fine.

Im using just generic cables for mine

 
There is no legitimate reason to use anything else besides durability. The ONE thing expensive cables usually have is durability

Blue jean cables are nice and the 1 foot cable is actually about 16-17 inches long since they do not count the length of the plugs. The pyst RCA is better for stacking a modi to a magni/vali unless you are putting them side by side or using a stand. BJC are thicker so even at 1 foot is too much of a bend for the lighter amps/dacs.

That's true.

Just got my Mjolnir/Gungnir stack in at work!  Anyone have any good excuses for me to leave?  I don't think they'll accept that I "have schiit to do".
 
I wasn't expecting a box quite this big and heavy, I guess I'm not very good at visualizing the size of things. Argh... can't concentrate.
