I don't think so 3.5 mm to metric users is 1/8" so I think he wants a short mini-mini cable and a short toslink as opposed to the long cables that came with the D1 (don't know if they are bundling any cables with the D10 at all)

I think he want a 3.5 mini-jack cable not a cable of 3,5cm!

Oops! My bad.

Are there any cables bundled with this one?

You get an inexpensive mini to mini for the amp section, a fairly long toslink to toslink and the AC to DC charger with a USB cord so you can use the wall charger or the USB from your laptop.

Is there any sonic benefit in changing the mini to mini cables that come with these amps? I've never considered the length or gauge big enough to make much of a difference.

That is about as subjective a subject as you can get. Only your ears can tell if it is worth it for you.

Yes, I think high quality IC's make a difference. The signal is carried on that wire so treating the signal with the least interference is best, IMO, and that requires a good IC. Having said that, I think you can still enjoy the cable that comes with the amp. I make my own and can hear a difference.

What are some good ones on the market I am sure someone will chime in.

Yes it is very subjective. I used to make IC's of hyper pure silver and sold them commercially and to be honest, I never had anything but positive feedback from customers and this can't be said for most IC's. So while not everyone heard the same thing, they all felt there was an improvement.

Recently i tried an iriver h320 20 gig and according to the syllibas with it its suppose to have a dedicated line out, try as i may even with the secondry line out different dedicated line out? it sounded the same as ordinary line out for headphones, then i noticed the volume control hired the volume on that line out, normally that jack output would have a seperate output with no volume control ( ipods) any ideas, ed.

I hear you on that one. I've always wondered if there was enough cable involved to make a difference on the mini-to-mini cables though. I've been in high-end audio a long time at one point or another and, to be honest, once the cable breaks in, I think the mega-buck cable thing is overblown and a waste of money. But there is value in a good solid no-frills cable for sure. Who makes the mini-to-mini?

So what headphones you are using?

Is that a full size optical or mini toslink (like the one on the back of my Mac and front of my MicroDac)?
