If I had to subjectively rate the following in order of importance to a headphone's sound signature it would go: 1. Source music file 2. DAC 3. Amp 4. Cables
 
All though influence the sound to some degree but in that order.

yeah, i know the order in which things should be upgraded/how much of the allotted budget should be spent on what.  in my case, its purely for a top tier CIEM on the go.  one could argue i should get a better DAP first, but convenience (and portability) of driving them out of my phone is unparalleled.  for that reason, i don't want a portable DAC/amp either.  maybe i'll want a usb dac/amp for home listening because they hiss out of my laptop eventually (to a lesser extent, my phone hisses as well), but i haven't found one with the sonic qualities i want, which is neutral to slightly bright.
 
to my understanding, since CIEMs have low resistance, the impedance of a given cable will have an affect on the sound.

My order shipped, Peter got back on me when I asked in an audiophile group on FB. Thumbs up DHC.

Hmmm maybe I need to send him a pm via FB. He hasn't replied to the emails I sent through his website contact page. I'm still waiting on a cable I ordered in Nov last year.

OMG, that is really long !! Try sending him another email, not with the "contact us" on his page but with your own email. Or even try contact him on FB. My order is shipped. For your case is way longer then the 8-12 weeks term. Really sorry to hear that. 

 

[rschoi75]

Yup, I'm not too pleased with the situation either. I feel that I shouldn't have to jump through hoops to receive a product I've already paid for.

That's pretty bad I feel for you in my case ordered in November and received in February. You might want to give Peter a call.

 

[rschoi75]

I would call him, but I don't know his phone number. It isn't listed anywhere on his retail website or FB page. I've already used his contact page and FB message. No response on either channel. I did mention on this thread back in Feb that I was still waiting on it. Maybe I offended him or something? I'd appreciate any help. At this point I just want my money back so I can use it towards something else. 
 
Btw, Peter, if you see this, it's order: #1804 - Nov 15, 2014.

just received my True Hybrid Peptide 25.2awg Cryo Litz -- Pure OCC silver + Pure OCC copper
V2 Next-generation Model with Type 4 Litz 8 braid cable from double helix and my first impressions are wow, this is quality work, soft maliable feel, and sonically a really nice improvement over ALO sxc8 silver copper cable which in turn beat the stock cable from 846. Im now hearing a lovely gutteral sub bass and nice clear 3d seperation in the other frequencies.  the sxc8 was also becoming a tad difficult in twists and such to manage, DHC feels like this will not be a problem. The real treat other than quality components is the sound quality improvement, especially in the low end extension via 846, chord hugo, 384000 fr 32 bit. Thanks peter.
If you can afford the doe and time, mine  arrived from order jan 20 to my door april 17. do it, wait for it. DHC is a winner in my books. Unfortunatly my th900 was already re cabled by lawton black scorpian, not that im not happy with that cable, id be curious what peter could do with it as a comparison. Oh well happy, and sorry to hear about some folks waiting. Bear with it, its worth it.

That 8 braid looks gorgeous. I have the 6 wire braid Fusion for my 846 and now thinking about this. Does the 8 braid still fit the stock pouch of the 846? Mine still does but barely.

Yes it fits, barely. Quite flexible so it does.

How do you find the new MMCX connectors? In mine its so frictionless and rotates so easily that I have sometimes have difficulty gripping it to wear. The stock MMCX were more ergonomic as they were firm.

Not bothered buy it, I'm still working the around ear memory but once it's in place, very comfortable. I'm sonically just getting into the sub bass. Can't stop listening which is a good sign.

You may have mentioned it but what iems or headphones are you using?  how much of a big difference is it compared with your stock?
