cables Cables with 90-degree Plugs?

[Temporal_Dissident]

Anyone aware of any audiophile-grade cables that have 90-degree plugs? Looking for XLR and Toslink. My new ELAC DD2 DAC is too deep from my shelving. I am playing for centimeters.

I know Transparent can make one for you. I've been to the factory and seen some of the crazy custom cables they've made. 90 degree termination should be a piece of cake.

I've seen these someplace but I can't remember where. Let me think about this some and get back to you.

You can always go the DIY route and have Redco build you one - https://www.redco.com/Custom-Cable.html

With Toslink you have the option of using an adapter like this one, not a bad idea if you already own a good quality Toslink cable that you'd like to continue using.

 

Neutrik makes a right-angle XLR plug, you could re-terminate an existing cable, or make a new one with that connector at one end if you don't wish to butcher a perfectly good existing cable:

You can buy these already made up with 90 degree Neutriks on one end.

Just be sure you put the angled part on the correct end.
