Anyone tried the S16 with the DM6?
I am also interested in C8 too.There should be a C8 version which they dont have yet.
for interconnects, i use to rely on Ghentaudio.Looking for balanced XLR interconnects. Some of these prices seem too good to be true (at least compared to stuff domestically). Are these really OCC copper w/silver plating?

It's been a while since I've posted anything useful on this forum, but this thread has been a big help for me finding an affordable replacement cable for my Oriveti New Primacy, I'd thought I'd contribute a cable took a punt on.

Claimed 5n 8 core 19 strand cable (18x0.08 spc + 1x0.08 ofc).
In the box you get the cable, a cloth bag and a ALO branded 2.5mm adapter. The jack is also ALO branded, read into that what you will.
Thickness comparison (rough measurements) 3.8mm, 4.1mm, 3.1mm
Left to right: GU.Craftsman 5n SPOFC, NiceHCK OFC (053?), Oriveti New Primacy Stock (SPOFC I think)
Overall a nice well made cable, Can't comment on sound differences as they all sound the same to me but I will rank the build quality above the other two, especially as the Oriveti cable has an intermittent fault and i find the NiceHCK uncomfortable to walk to work with.
thanks! i also vouch for GUCraftman cables (check my review). i didn't check that wire when i got mines, though.It's been a while since I've posted anything useful on this forum, but this thread has been a big help for me finding an affordable replacement cable for my Oriveti New Primacy, I'd thought I'd contribute a cable took a punt on.

i received the alo audio 3.5 trs male to 2.5trrs female adapter (this one is useful and safe).The cable looks nice but about the adapter i think its fakely branded Alo because i doubt they produce such adapter .. also i dont recommend using it since the cable seems to be terminated into 3.5 trs unbalanced, so going to 2.5 trrs balanced using this adapter might harm your devices.
Thanks for sharing !
More than likely. Fortunately it will never be used as my sources are all unbalanced, but thanks for the warning.The cable looks nice but about the adapter i think its fakely branded Alo because i doubt they produce such adapter .. also i dont recommend using it since the cable seems to be terminated into 3.5 trs unbalanced, so going to 2.5 trrs balanced using this adapter might harm your devices.

thanks! i also vouch for GUCraftman cables (check my review). i didn't check that wire when i got mines, though.
good quality conductor material. great conductivity while staying thin and light. great aesthetics.
the only cons i could find was: short and rigid jack strain relief (heat shrink plastic), and i'm having problem with left mmcx when used with magaosi k5 (no issues when using other iems, no issues when using k5 with other cables; i wonder what's the problem).
still highly recommending them, specially for those hard to find terminations

Ye i remember the ones you posted before but i dont think they had this alo branded plugs, also i remember they were at a much higher price and had this cool chinese writing over the splitter....
If you look at his review photos the supplied adapter is alo branded but 2.5mm to 3.5mm instead, mine also has the same splitter.
Your right about the price though these are a third of the price, but this is claimed 5n whilst the others 6n.

I'm not sure it was available when you first reviewed yours, I saw it listed the end of feb. The mmcx plugs are a looser fit with the New Primacy than the nicehck or the original cable but so far I haven't noticed any connection issues, fingers crossed it stays that way. Your spot on with the strain relief, it could be a little more forgiving.
I have question because i really like nicehck 053 .. how is gucrafts exactly more comfortable, is it the less thickness or the ear guides or what ?
I might grab one later
the problem is about shorting left and right cold (negative) signals into a single ground signal: this could damage the amplifier, if not protected.Ye i love the looks of these writings .. Gucrafs they seem to do very nice quality cables, they were praised by hakuzen before ..
May be he must have gotten this adapter because he ordered a 2.5 cable, but going 2.5 trrs to 3.5 trs is fine, other way not recommend by many people on the forum, dont get me wrong i never got anything damaged this way and i barely tried it, but as i say its avoidable here in the forums and also many known brands dont do such adapter and are against it, but chinese produce it normally and alot of people use it, so better safe than sorry.
A quick meter of my adapter shows both negatives connected as common signal ground. Good thing I don't need it.the problem is about shorting left and right cold (negative) signals into a single ground signal: this could damage the amplifier, if not protected.
i hope that people who make these adapters don't short cold signals, and they use only one of them (or even none, just the mass of the adapter) as common ground. this way, it would be safe.
