i have a related question. i've tried searching to no avail.
i'm looking for an optical cable to run from an ad-20 (toslink) to my iriver h140 (1/8").
the issue is, that the optical in on the h140 is jammed up right next to the remote control in, so the wide 'neck' (?) of the standard optical cables means that i can't have the remote plugged in at the same time as the optical cable...
this is a shame cos it's a hell of a lot easier (not to mention stealthier) to use the remote to monitor levels, time and battery-life.
is anyone aware of a toslink to 1/8" cable or reliable adaptor that has a skinnier 1/8" neck than standard?
if i'm not making any sense perhaps a photo would help?
here:

i've not yet tried an ra adaptor...but going off online photos, i haven't seen any that look any thinner than standard.
thanks for any advice y'all can provide.
