Need a decent .5m or 1m 3.5mm to 3.5mm headphone cable for my setup.

Nothing super crazy, but looking for suggestions on what to get.

Will be going from my iPhone 6 to a headphone amp.

    In thinking about it, does it really make a diff if your using a 3.5mm to dual RCAs v 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable?

    And I seem to have forgotten that Signal Cable makes 2 versions of a 3.5mm to RCA cable too...

    http://signalcable.com/analogmini.html - possible contender
    http://signalcable.com/silvermini.html - not in my budget lol

    http://www.bluejeanscable.com/store/audio/MSA1.htm - also good option thanks @DaveHo‌

    I've had a AQ cable I've used in the past. Seemed decent enough.

    I used a AQ Golden Gate, but it was a ipod dock cable to 2 RCAs. I know that make a 3.5 to 3.5 Golden Gate. using the docking cable you bypass the internal amp. but you know that :)
    just curious, are you going to use your C5 amp with your phone (piggyback style)?

    No C5, I've got a iFi iCan arriving today.

    In thinking more about this, I am going to actually just go the 3.5mm to RCA route as there really isnt much of a cost savings by going 3.5mm to 3.5mm and the other cable can be used in other places when/if I ever decided to get rid of my desktop setup.

    Likely looking at a Audioquest Forest 3.5mm to RCA cable just to keep things basic for that setup.

    Any other suggestions sub 60 bucks on a 3.5mm to dual RCA cable appreciated.

    I considered Signal Cable, but their RCA connectors are just too tight on gear, I had some bad experiences with them pulling the ground pin off my Carver mutliple times (may have been the Carvers fault but dont wanna chance it), so I'd pass on them.
