Like most Nicehck cables from XINHS, it is easier when Nicehck has a published sale price. Otherwise try to get it at $60usd or under but he always references the current price so might need to wait on that one.
I haven’t made up my mind yet. It seems like a lighter weight 8 core graphene.
Currently I use final audio type-e in S for my clairvoyance & 3DT, it kinda depends on how deep the insertion is/ you are looking for as well as how large ur ear canals are. Some people prefer spinfits, which i did try but i prefer type-e as I find that it stays more stable in my ear. I haven’t tried sednaearfit xelastec/crystal yet so i cant comment on them.
Cable wise right now XINHS graphene cables are pretty nice for the price from what i hear especially now that 11.11 is going on. Their 4 core graphene cable is a pretty good deal for $30~ right now. Or if u dont care for graphene then u can look at XINHS & niceHCK on aliexpress, they have a good amount cables on sale right now and from what i read on this forum both have pretty good track records.
You can check the link above about the tips I rec and also @PopinTeddy 's.
For cables I recommend Xinhs for build quality, but any good built one is fine. My favourite cable (for the looks and comfort) with Variations was 4 core graphene with grey hardware.
I am well into that one. Here is a box of tips, and I have another with TWS and foam.
Sources are an interesting – I am currently messing around with my PC sending the audio over USB to a Raspberry Pi, then I am writing some software DSP code.
It takes that and sends that digital output to Bluetooth or USB-C, where I currently consume it with a BTR5. Sort a DIY pre-amp. The point was to introduce and tweak software emulated tube amp warmness, without having to tube roll, or spend a bunch of money.
I am pondering taking that project to the next level and seeing how complicated it is to assemble a good DAC. Then I could make my own Pre-Amp and DAC, and that would only leave the Amp. Amps are pretty simple, but I know there are tricks to clean neutral power that I haven’t learned. I just think it would be cool to have my own stack.
