Can you give us some closer pictures im interested in the detail thanks in advance!

Here's a picture of a DIY cable with a difference.
 
I recabled some RHA 750s after breaking the original cable,but rather than run a full length cable I made a super short version. This allows me to connect a small DAC or bluetooth receiver mic controller at the junction point. The picture shows my Fiio K1 connected, the micro USB cable plugs straight into my iPhone's lightning socket. The K1 has a detachable clip so I can just clip it to my shirt. The other dongle is the bluetooth mic/receiver.

That's super super awesome! But wouldn't you find that your microusb to lightning is too long for portable use?

The K1 sits just below my neck whilst clipped to my shirt. It's like a slightly bulk splitter.

Gorgeous. Looks like you used a flat braid, am I right?

What wire is that? Seems like a thick gauge.

Awesome! I didnt go as far as to recable my RHA MA750is but rather sleeved the lower portion with 3m reflective 550 paracord and replaced the plug with an Amazon TRRS alternative. To retain the RHA plug sleeve (for pure aesthetics) I simply heated it up using a pencil torch and removed the remaining material from the original plug. The sleeve was slightly smaller than the new plug so before soldering I placed tape over the plug, chucked it in the drill, and used a person file to achieve the required diameter. Everything works and looks great now!

I need to revisit mine as I'm not really happy with the joins. I did them a while back when I first started out, I've got a lot better now skills-wise. The recabling was a necessity as I'd caught the cable and broke the mic. They were sitting in a drawer for months until I picked up the courage to attack them with a soldering iron.

This is a two-wire (data +/-) USB cable is made using #22 shielded SPC. It connects between my laptop and an Uptone Audio Regen. 
I still need to cover the plugs with heatshrink, but it sounds great.

BTG Audio.

EDIT: BTG-audio.com does not have OCC as Hisoundfi desired but I would like to leave my original suggestion of BTG Audio due to their great quality, price, and customer service.

 

[PinkyPowers]

Does BTG have OCC? They didn't when I was buying. They do have great OFC.

You are correct. I had seen their Silver Plated OFC and remembered it as being OCC wire, my apologies. At $1/ft though I am hard pressed to find fault in BTG for not having an OCC option.....

 

[PinkyPowers]

Indeed. They do sell some nice wire.
