RSA - since you are retired and have time on your hands can you make a solder joint?

If yes - take a look at ....

I use one with Pure Harmony RCA's, but you could opt for the Copper Harmony and use a copper central conductor which would make them even more affordable - probably around $85 in total.

The Copper Harmony you can order from Parts Connexion

I currently stream up to 24/192 and their performance is outstanding - the best SPDIF I've used to date

Try Acoustic Research , I use them on my Theta gear. They replaced my Wonderlink with no quality drop off.
Not sure what you mean by "inexpensive", but a couple of very affordable, well engineered cables are those by Blue Jeans Cables and Cable Solutions.  The Blue Jeans cables are made with Belden cable and use Canare RCA connectors.  They run about $18 for 5 feet.  The Cable Solutions cables use Canare wire and RCA connectors. They run about $41 for 1.5 M.  The Canare RCA connectors are an important part of these cables since these connectors are closer to a 75 ohm impedance than the typical RCA connector.  Like all audiophile wire there are lots of opinions on what makes a good cable, but I replaced a 0.5 M Kimber AGDL with a 5 foot Blue Jeans and it sounds better.  The Kimber used ultra plate RCA connectors and was not an optimal length (1.5 M supposedly), so that may explain the improvement.   Good luck!
