Question about cables for Audioengine A5 owners

[ed71]

For those of you who own Audioengine A5 speakers, what sort of cable are you using to connect them to your computer or DAC? Unlike the A2s or the A5+, the only audio input appears to be a mini-jack. Are you using the included RCA to mini-jack cable or did you replace it with an upgraded cable? I'm asking because I'd ideally like to upgrade this cable with something shorter and was wondering where to look.

I just use this from my Bifrost to the A5: Amazon.com: AudioQuest Class A audio cable - mini to RCA plugs 3m (9.84') stereo pair: Electronics

I contacted Aural Thrills Audio and they made a silver mini-jack interconnect for me, that I run from my DAC to the A5's. Small company but they are willing to make the interconnect built with your requested connectors at a reasonable price.

Thanks. It looks like they must have renamed their series of cables since I wasn't able to find these on the Audioquest website.

Monoprice.com is a good place to find cables. Here is a relevant page:

 

HDMI Cable, Home Theater Accessories, HDMI Products, Cables, Adapters, Video/Audio Switch, Networking, USB, Firewire, Printer Toner, and more!

 

look for "3.5mm to RCA Audio Cables".

 

Monoprice has no brand name cachet but a lot of people find their cables to be quite satisfactory.

Thanks. Almost all of my cables are Monoprice. The last time I was there, I couldn't find the one I thought I needed. It turns out I was looking for the wrong thing.
