In my design work, I accept suboptimal connections, including short lengths of hookup wire. as one of Reinhold Niebuhr's "things I cannot change." That said, some DAC makers manage to mount the connector jack directly to the circuit board.
My design goals are:
Minimizing signal degradation by careful attention to the limitation of internal electrical reflections;
Optimization of mechanical resonances; and,
Neutralizing the mechanical stresses that are the unavoidable by-products of any cable-fabrication process.
BTW, I think that the 75-Ohm Canare RCA plug is the pick of the litter, for RCA plugs.
ATB,
