There was discussion earlier about some I2S cables that won’t connect properly to the Mk2 because of the thick round-head screws that PSA uses combined with larger than usual connector housing. I have just purchased such a cable and, despite searching the forum, can’t find that discussion. Can someone point me to it or provide the info I need to get the correct screws? I think there was a specific name for these screws but I can’t remember (obviously they need a much thinner and flatter head). ---

I believe this is the thread you’re looking for… > [@Best XLR between DS MK2 and BHK Pre?](https://forum.psaudio.com/t/best-xlr-between-ds-mk2-and-bhk-pre/31954): > > I’ll be expecting a MK2 shortly and planning to have an AQ Dragon PC providing it some juice. I’m wondering about what relevant XLR cords of similar SQ could be be added into the equation. Currently, I’m having the Grimm SQM between the Pre and BHK 250. That sounds pretty good, but perhaps I may achieve just a another step higher on the stairs of our Rabbit Hole with just the right investment. Your thoughts, considerations and/or suggestions are highly appreciated! ---

It can be a bit tricky to find the right match. From what I’ve seen, those round-head screws can indeed cause issues with specific cables, so you better choose another type. You can find all of them at [www.scrooz.com.au](https://www.scrooz.com.au/). It’s great you want to switch them out for a better fit. I don’t recall the specific discussion, but I’d recommend contacting PS Audio’s support directly. ---

Even flatter and they are the correct fit. Amazon or wherever: Prime-Line 9120956 Machine Screws, Metric, Flat Head, Phillips Drive, M3-0.5 X 6MM
