Hello, I have everything ready except the cables
My setups is as follows:
iRiver H120 Optical Out ------> Optical In of the Lite DAC Ah --???--> Little Dot II ++ Amp ------> Headphones
Here are some pics to illustrate:
iRiver iHP 120:
Lite DAC Ah
NOTE: The optical-in here looks different, why?
Little Dot II ++ Amp
So what should I get for the connection between the DAC and the Amp above? Stereo RCA Jacks at both ends? If yes, what do you recommend for a budget of $30?
I find the cables below of excellent value but want to make sure if that is what I should get:

Will two cables of the above work as RCA for my setup?
Another strong contender:

For the optical cable:
I read that most optical cables sound the same, so build quality and durability should be more important. Will this cable be any good?

BTW, what is this "Toslink to Optical Mini Adaptor"? Does my iRiver H120 requires a mini Adaptor?

Do you recommend any other cables that fit under my budget? I like good bass, warm clear details but not sterile, and good shield.
Thanks...
