Recommended IEM Cables

I’ve been using it all day at my desk, just tried on DAP now.

I feel the cable is on the heavier side, but not because of the connectors. Sure they must not help, but dont think they weight much on their own.

I’ll say its great for desk usage, not the best for portability. If I put the dap in a pocket and the connector part as well, the weight is just the cable’s. So yeah, dont think you gain much weight by having this type of solution, but will be better on lighter cables. I’m used to lighter and slimmer cables, so YMMV.

Lookwise, its gorgeous, better than the photos and the quality superb.

Im a matching cables to IEM guy, so this one will ride a Tripowin x HBB Mele black version (when i get it :rage:)

I love mini XLR as a connector for differing connectors, but maybe I will just stick to that being for headphone cables then.

The Graphene cable is my favorite XINHS cable I’ve purchased thus far. I am having a custom graphene cable made for my HIFIMan HE6se right now.



I believe the Linsoul Nymph is the same thing just higher cost as is the case with a bunch of XINHS cables they have branded their own.

Yes, for headphones it is amazing. Still better to get a nice modular like dunu’s, just more expensive. You can also look at hart audio cables :slight_smile:

I love hart audio cables.

I agree the modular DUNU system is awesome (as I’ve advertised time and time again), but for those that have no need for it, a regular cable probably makes the most sense.

I LOVE the DUNU system, but after a while, I realized I never switched them, so what is the point in having it? I use either 4.4 or 2.5 balanced 100% of the time. But for anyone using multiple sources, the switching system is the best option by far!

Yes, me too. This graphene cable was inspired by them.

Anyway, maybe I’m beeing picky. PAC480 from penon seems to weight more, so its kinda fine.

This was a match made in heaven as soon as I slapped it on…

My xinhs cables should be arriving today or tomorrow just got the email that they are at my local post office and the Fiio FD3 Pro and it’s “miraculous” cable arrives tomorrow so. I will soon have a new modular system to test and some new cables to play around with.

Awesome. Be sure to share some photos of your stuff with us!

EDIT: FD3, not FH3! Duh!

FD3… I have the FH3 and that cable is god awful… maybe it measures well , but wow whoever thought a cable like that was a good idea…

Yeah, sorry, I can’t read. The Fh3 is great. Bad cable tho.

I’m sure you’ll be able to take the HIFI cable off the FD3 Pro and really hear, for the first time what the FH3 is truly capable of.

Yeah. I’ll be using mine on Mele! Stil looking for a perfect match for the teas. My lands already have a custom.

Maybe, but first I need to soak the cable for at least 50 hours in olive oil and the blood of Crotalus cerastes to really have the full effect.

I think I am going to put the xinhs 2 core on the Oracle and decide what to do with the other cable (A6 on riku’s list )later. I don’t really do pictures. I am lousy at taking them and I have little artistic talent or inclination.

They could have charged double if they had provided your cable with the LAND. Great job designing it! I love the photos. It reminds me of a bumblebee or Stryper.

Yeah but now will be different. Xinhs replaced it, it’s on its way, had an hiss on the right side. We also changed connectors to gold, so even more bee now lol


Also a matching 3.5mm adaptor (that doesnt have gold plugs, which bums me, but didnt want to complain, hes a nice guy)

Is that using this gold/copper wire?

You learn as you go, Resolution didnt have nearly as professional looking pics before either.

Think so. Its the same as the hybrid a25, but instead of silver, he got me a hell expensive dark grey copper to match. Just like this but with gold plugs:
