So I'm wondering and looking at photos and wondering some more ... does this new phono cable not have a DIN connection? Boy, I think that would eliminate a lot of potential users like me.

Unfortunately, you are correct: Shunyata only offers their phono cables with RCA or XLR connectors, and do not offer a "flexible" section as an option for those of us with suspended turntables. I have an SME V arm on my SOTA Cosmos, and called Shunyata with those very questions, and was told they had no solution for me.
I ended up ordering an Audience AU24 SX phono cable with an SME DIN connector, but haven't had a chance to install it yet
