Have you tried something that's actually worth what it costs? An inspection of many of their XLR cables reveal that the metalworking is very bubbly. Far too bubbly for any sort of electrical cable heads, especially those that carry analog signals.
EDIT: Do not bring up how RCA and XLR are different standards. One type of cable being wrong points to the company doing the rest wrong.
EDIT MORE: My samples might have been tampered with or bad; I did a quick google search and see no such thing thus far. Will not remove post over this; sometimes google's a filthy, money-covered liar.
EDIT EVEN MORE: Bad/tampered samples; the only crap that I'm seeing is that they're all that crappy gold-plated stuff that costs more and sounds worse, when a high-quality cable is nickle or silver plated and doesn't cost twice as much for 10' as their nearest competitors asks for 20'.*
But, crashing when you plug in your headphones has absolutely nothing to do with DAC issues. The product of DAC issues would be garbled audio. Also, DAC issues would only happen when plugging in headphones if you're switching between a digital and analog connection, like S/PDIF to 3.5mm phone. RCA is analog, unless you are running an audio studio computer, which I would doubt, considering your level of knowledge on these subjects.Actually, just realized that he might be referring to the usage of an RCA cable for coaxial S/PDIF.

There are a few symbols that can be used to denote sarcasm, you know.
