Hi,
I connect my DAC to my Samsung Galaxy S5 via USB OTG. I have noticed that over time, the cable connector that connects to the phone degrades or becomes loose, causing the connection to drop, and eventually it becomes very annoying and frustrating. I then need to replace the cable. I have read a bit that others have had this issue. 
 
Does anyone know of a very stable and durable USB OTG cable that will LAST? It needs to be Male to Male and Micro USB on both ends and ideally in only 4-6 inches in length. This must be a common question for those with mobile DACs!
 
One thought I had was perhaps if the cable connector was the usb 3.0 type that connects to the phone and then a regular micro USB to the DAC. But I can't seem to find one that matches the specifications above.
 
Thanks!
Eric

These guys are able to customize this DAC cable with a USB 3.0 micro OTG male to micro male cable. $10 + $5 shipping.
