True, they're analog cables, but from others' experiences elsewhere on this board, RCAs will work in the short run even if they're not 75-ohm...and video cables, which *are* 75-ohm, work just fine - I use a $6 Radio Shack cable on my home decks rather than a $20 "premium quality" digi-cable.
Either way though, this sucker looks promising...and easier to 'forget' in your pocket and 'accidentally' bring into a venue than a DAT. No, seriously, it's an mp3 player. And these are ear buds. Really!
