I’d suggest having a look at what Ken’s team at ALO/Campfire can do. Their quality is really good.@Brooko - is there a better (read: no microphonics) balanced IEM cable you DO recommend?
I am not a big fan of expensive after market cables, too, but I have CIEMs on their way to me (2-pin connector) and would like to use 2.5mm balanced out from FiiO X5III and HiBy R6 with them
ANY recommendation would be highly appreciated!
Being a cable sceptic like yourself - I care for NO microphonics and comfort (not annoying the back of my ears)...
The sound: I wasn't expecting any big difference. But the combination of balanced output and this cable really takes the sound, the soundstage to a new level. The treble has a sparkle too. The overall sound is more airy and the sound stage is wider with good separation. To my ears, it is heaven.
I've to have the volume at a higher level in balanced mode that I do with while in single ended mode. Even if the price isn't $31, this cable is providing amazing listening experience and with the $31 price, this is outstanding. Extremely happy.
