What about mini-xlr?
Neutrik miniCon has 12 pins similar in size to the iris connector.
Lemo makes some nice small 4 pin connectors too.
Thanks, yes getting LEMO for Y-split as well as some kind of panel mount.

Paracord 550 should be fine for both.
When you sleeve it, you can choose to tighten the paracord to fit snug around the cable or to leave it a bit loose and flowing. While fitting it to the cable looks nice and will really accentuate the curvatures of the wire if it's braided, it does add to the microphonics just a bit. I like to leave it a little bit of extra material on cables that will be moving actively.
If you untwist it correctly you can untwist 2 twisted pairs from each other and they'll hold a nice twist. Slap some heatshrink on them and it doesn't come out too bad. My issue when I used Canare L-4E6S is that it's heavy and doesn't sit well. IMO it's really too thick to make a good headphone cable. W2893 or W2929 would bother be better choices. 28awg seems small but it's adequate, and you really don't want a cable much bigger than 0.150" as it starts getting really heavy. I have some 0.160" shielded 6x26 and it's about as heavy as you can ignore. My opinion of course but be cautious.
I would treat the split for aesthetics. I have a micro lathe and I've trimmed some ABS tubing to size and it looks real sharp.

Is there any benefit of hooking up 8-strand W2893 vs 4-strand soundwise ? About to slap together a pair of balanced T50's for my cousin and I have a good quantity of this stuff at hand.
Would you mind sharing a photo of that? I'm having a hard time coming up with a good solution aside from the Viablue splitters.

I'm not familiar with an 8-strand W2893, it's a 4 conductor served shield cable. However it is a little on the larger side, but it will be fine for a headphone cable.
