Driving down the road, the rock hit the windshield. Of course you should of swerved! There are three things to always do while driving: check your mirrors, look both ways, and the safest driver always gets home in one piece.

My UM Miracles arrived today and my first impressions are positive, however, I feel to improve their SQ [ when using my GS-Xmk2 ] I'm going to have to find a way to plug them into the GS-X's 4 pin XLR socket.
I'll see if I can get a 3.5mm [ female ] jack to 4 pin XLR [ male ] adapter made.
Their fit is perfect and the build quality looks also to be very good, but I do find the cable is very thin.
I've only listened to them for a short time with my GS-X, but in that time I put them quite a bit behind my SR-009 / BHSE, and my HD-600's sound better again with the GS-X, but that's because those headphones have a 4 pin XLR silver custom cable plugged into them, and I find using the GS-X's 4 pin XLR produces a lot better SQ than it's normal headphone socket.
I think once I'm able to plug the Miracles into the GS-X's 4 pin socket, the SQ should improve quite a lot. 
 
                                 
                                 
 
Sorry the photos aren't that good, but it started getting dark out when I took the top one, and the bottom one was taken in artificial light.

Good looking ciem! I hope you enjoy them.

I don't think this is possible. This would essentially be going from a single-ended termination to a balanced termination. You would have to get a totally new cable terminated 4-Pin XLR, (x2) 3 Pin XLR, or a TRRS jack - then use an adapter. Correct me if I'm wrong someone. 
 
Nonetheless, a very beautiful IEM indeed. Congrats

I don't know anything about the technical side of audio so you might be right, so I'll get in touch with the place that made my silver custom cable for my HD-600's and see if they can do a similar cable for my miracles.

Yup. They should be able to make a custom cable balanced.


The custom cable I have for my HD-600's is very well built so I'll definitely be getting in touch with Alister about a similar cable for my Miracles, however even if he can do a cable for them, it'll be sometime before I'll have the spare money to buy one because I've things that need doing that should've been done sometime ago.
