I usually think of the brand Hammond in this instance. I have the transformer on the way and the Neutrik XLR and RCA jacks too. I haven't decided if I'll mount the transformers inside or outside like my SUT project, that dill determine which size case I go with. https://www.hammfg.com/electronics/small-case

hammond comes to mind, avail at all your electronics parts distys like mouser.

Have any recommendations for internal wiring to use?

No need, this model transformer comes with their own wires. I'm using this for XLR: Neutrik NC3FD-L, and this for the RCA Neutrik NF2D-B-2

Hammond is a go to. I also like Context Engineering for split body cases which can be useful depending on the build. http://contextengineering.com/split_body_enclosures.html

Perhaps should just ask this in the thread but I hate mucking up quality threads from friends like Marv with my n00b questions... But would it be possible to have a pass through set of xlr that bypass that cinemags so that I could run my balanced amp at the same time?

re: Wire?, depends on what it is doing but for some point to point connections, a very good standard is Cardas hookup wire. I think VH Audio sells it.

Also would like to have 2 pairs of SE RCA outs in order to run two SE amps or is all of this starting to ask too much from a single set of balanced outputs from a dac without having to add more transformers? Would just want all of this running simultaneously, doesn't need to be switched or attenuated...

So ideally the balanced output from my Gungnir Multibit running the external box which would have a pair of balanced xlr outputs that bypass the cinemags in order to run a balanced amp, then 2 pairs of RCA outputs from the cinemags to run two SE headamps at the same time...

Agree with @JK47 , @bixby , @fraggler . Hammond. Digikey or Mouser are reliable sources.

@e.schell : pass through set in parallel is basically a Radial LX-3 line splitter.

^Maybe a source selection switcher?

If you want a solution that doesn't require any cutting, you could use one of these snake boxes: https://www.redco.com/Redco-MB1.html and then choose a lid with 4-6 slots for XLR/RCA ports: https://www.redco.com/Redco-XLR-UCP-Module.html.
