I'm afraid It will be hard (or expensive) to buy Daxx production in US.
Here are some another photos of this plugs:

Very nice! How did you split the cable?

This needs to be cleaned up quite a bit to be pretty, but it works, and before I put a lot more time into it, I'll upgrade the components. This was made with these (1/8" Stereo Phone Plug (2-Pack) - RadioShack.com) by cutting down the ground post and then using quiksteel (Amazon.com: C.R. LAURENCE 16002 CRL QuikSteel Epoxy Putty: Everything Else) instead of the old shroud.

I just wanted as small of an interconnect as I could get, and this is a straight run from my dap to amp without any loop.

Very nice! I am going to be doing something similar to get my plugs as low profile as possible. I will be using some Neutrik right angled plugs as the base since they are already bent properly and the solder tab is convenient. I have some epoxy putty which seems similar to what you used.

Anyone know where I can get parts for iTouch 2G LOD in USA, I have plenty of cable but just need the connector parts quick or anyone have extra for sale ? (something like Qable sell but located in USA)

I'll have to check out the right angled plugs for next time. As short as the cable is on this one the right angled plugs are too long, but it might work really well to cut back the tabs as much as possible, and then using hot glue or clear epoxy cover the connection.

I received this pair of DT880 600OHMs broken. They needed new drivers and today I installed them and gave them the Mogami treatment. I am very pleased with the result.

Here are two other cables that I built. Blue for all my coax applications. They were built using Mogami wire as well.
