Portable Bluetooth dac/amps: Radsone ES100, Qudelix 5K
- Cable Inventory
- I prefer balanced output in 2.5mm format. Brands and models are: Tripowin Zonie (2 sets in 2 pin, one in mmcx), several sets of KBEAR Rhyme in 2 pin (both KZ/QDC and TFZ), Nicehck Limpid/Limpid Pro, XINHS SPC, ISN C16. I prefer anything that's an 8 core because of flexibility and weight. A snug and properly functioning chin slider is an absolute must!

Iem cables: too many to list. I own many because I always use the balanced output of my sources, so every time I get a new iem, I gotta buy a 2.5 mm upgrade cable to hook them up. I've got several from Nicehck, Tripowin, KBEAR and XINHS. Don't use supplied 3.5 mm cables at all.
