That would be completely unnecessary - Chuck Norris' fists already come standard on Chuck Norris.

Chuck Norris would just roundhouse-kick the bus unconscious.

Or just stare it down, until its tires deflate out of pure fear

Is this a portable rig thread or a Chuck Norris thread?

Had Chuck Norris not stared down the postman's truck I would have pictures of my SuperMacro to show.

You definetly need to chill more utarch00...........

Where did you get that?
Is it really that flexible as it seems on the photo?

That looks like RnB's (Myo) mini-mini cable.
He's a DIYer from the forum. You can find a topic related to his cables on mall-fi.
Their are said to be extremely good (I can't confirm or unconfirm this, since I don't have one).

No, sorry, that is no RnB cable, that is a fibre cable.
Ready-made from some supplier.
I am looking at the cable from the iRiver to the DAC, sorry for the misunderstanding!

Are you sure? 'cause that really looks like an RnB cable, and besides, he states in his sig that he has one, so ...

xtreme, you're right. there is a rnb audio cable in the picture, but from the DAC to the AMP, not from the iriver to the DAC. cause this is the cable in question.

Understood now?

Yes, the cable between the iRiver and the DAC is a right-angled optical mini-to-TOSLink cable that I got from soundprofessionals.com (item# SP-TMOC-RA).

It's unfortunately 1 meter long, so I have to gently coil it up a little, as you can see from the photo, to keep the rig in portable mode. I looked everywhere for something shorter, but I couldn't find one. Although I did recently see a few websites advertising a 0.5 meter TOSLink with straight connectors that will supposedly be available around the end of this month.

Also, I would have preferred a right-angle mini optical connector at both ends of the cable, but for the life of me I could not find one in existence (and I looked diligently for one). But, alas, the only right angle optical cable that I could find was either (i) TOSLink at both ends or (ii) TOSLink on one end and mini optical on the other. The only thing with mini's at both ends was with straight connectors. So, I ended up getting the one with one mini optical right angle connectors, and I put an TOSLink-to-mini optical adapter on the other end that I got from here (item #30F2-71200).

All in all, the RA connectors make for a fairly tidy setup, despite the 1M length of the cable. Yes, it's really that flexible, but keep in mind that this is not a glass cable. It would probably coil more tightly than is shown in the photo if needed.

And, yes, the I/C you see in my photo is RnB's excellent 5" Diamond Reference Mini.

Hey,

do you have a larger pic of the micro stack? that RnB cable looks great with it but my eyes are straining to see it. If you need free hosting try http://imageshack.us/

Thank you for your info!
That is just what I have been looking for, the optical cables with straight connectors stick out too much when used in a setup like this, and carried in a small bag.
So I will see if I can get a cable like this shipped to me in Norway.
