Since Xinhs not shipping to my country I’ve been looking for some alternatives and came across these: SYRNARN S5 352 Core Upgraded Silver Plated grey/Brown Cable 4.4 3.5mm 2Pin 0.78mm A2DC MMCX for se535 SE846 Earphone Wire in ear|Earphone Accessories| - AliExpress
Connectors looks really good imho.
If I read it correctly, it is in the context of a discussion about calculating/guessing the cable thickness of a cable from its number of cores.
The guy says that each external core can have one or several internal cores in it: either the ground is an internal cores in itself or it is made like a layer of shielding. Thus you can’t have only one rule to calculate the cable thickness, you have to know more things.
Question regarding ordering a custom cable from XINHS.
I know the guy is easy to talk to and he responds quickly (aside from the language barrier), and does great work. Just give him the specs of what you want and he’ll do his best to make it happen. But how does the transaction work? Is it still through AE? Or is it more like a direct purchase so the guarantees of AE aren’t there as a cushion in case something happens. What about shipping too? I know he has a great reputation and many here can vouch for him so it’s reassuring, just wanna get a bit more into the details.
Also what is the turn around time and approximate price for a custom cable from him?
Planning to get something along the lines of
Graphene
4 core
140cm
Modular right angle jacks
He usually has it done in the next day and shipped.
You pay the cable price + extra. Most stuff he doesnt charge, but to get a bigger lenght you prolly pay a lil bit more.
He can’t do full modular.
He charged me considerably less than I expected and I added money to his bill because I felt I was taking advantage of him. I wanted a longer 8 core graphene cable with black custom hardware with 4.4 mm balanced connection to 3.5 connections for my modded HE6se V2.
He had my custom cable complete and shipped before I woke up the next day. I had pictures of the finished cable waiting for me. The cable arrived and is perfect.
I was thinking more along the lines of something like your custom set with the mini-XLR. Though oddly enough Godria mentioned that apparently he can do the kinera adapter?
Great to hear, how does the 8 core graphene compare to the stock cable of the Oracle size wise? The softness and flexibility is what I’m after since I’m definitely gonna be falling asleep in them. Actually does the cable affect an IEM like the Oracle?
I’d suggest getting a 4 core first unless you know you prefer heftier cables. The 4 core is probably perfect for what most IEM owners are looking for.
I won’t say anything about the cable effecting sound. You’ll have to decide that for yourself. 
Was planning on getting the 4 core since it’s more affordable. But I’m gonna get used to the stock cable of the oracle before making any decisions on that front. And yeah that’s fair enough
He really should put those 4.4mm to dual 3.5mm cables up there as products.
Well, headphone cables in general (2.5/3.5/4.4 to dual 2.5/4.4/Sennheiser).
I’m sure they would sell! 
I want one for my Sundara’s too.
Just buy matching adaptors, really. It was more of a proof of concept. I use 4.4mm 99% of the time anyway. Also he can’t do it in every cable. I don’t think he can do it on 4 cores.
Good. Shhhhh.
Stock is great. No need to change.
Oh yeah, how’s the microphonics of the Oracle stock cable? The ones before my Audiotechnicas had minimal microphonics, while the ones I use now have a lot
Aliexpress constantly wants me to buy more Xinhs cables, I get constant notifications 
I saw that they have an all pink one and it made me think I’d love to have that with a pink SSR or pink CIEM, just something that really stands out 
Also probably will pick up one of the higher core count cables at some point as I like the look of them and means I won’t have to swap cables as much.
I’ll likely upgrade to a pwaudio 1960 or something at some point although I’ll likely have a couple high end IEMs first before I do that, already got the source for it
Right? True bullies. My wallet can’t take it anymore.
Been searching for a pure copper cable (unplated) and took a punt on this.
Definite improvement but it’s stiff and not that ergonomic because of it.
I’ve just ordered a Forza Audio Works pure copper for my 7Hz Timeless which I’m hoping will solve my search for a decent cable.

Yeah, 2 core canes and good looking but suck to use. I own a Pac480 and it’s in a drawer 
I’m 99% sure those are the same pics of the custom cable XINHS made for @nymz hahaha. Which by the way is an 8-core cable
And like he mentioned it might not be possible to do on a 4-core cable, which is probably what you’ll be wanting for softness and lightweight?
Make the suggestion to him. I’m sure he’d appreciate it.
Actually he can also make 4 cores. I sent him the 4 Cores specs of the Kinera’s cable “Dromi” which is 4 cores. He said yes.
BTW I copied, and pasted the same specs.
