great place for cables of all kinds: markertek.com
they will custom make any cable combo you need if it isn't in stock or you want a custom config.

DI boxes will convert line level into mic level.
I presume passive one will be ok for your application but mine are active.
+1 on Sardus comment about cable makes no acoustic difference . might make you feel smug, but that is all.
Learn some soldering and make up your own cables. Its a handy skill

you mean my mic channel into line level?

if so, can you recommend any good ones?

A DI will convert your line level output to mic level. Check this for details http://www.astralsound.com/di-boxes.htm
I use a pair of BSS AR133s to run my mixer into a sounddesk.
I have had a couple of Whirlwind DIs and they where good too.
It all depends on budget

Just buy cheaper cables and multiple sets for the shows so you always prepared.
