However, because of the small K812 connector, the cable must be made as a twisted, [tightly] sleeved design and not braided as shown in the above picture.
Hope to post a photo of my actual cable before day's end [Deo volente].

Picked up one of their cables for my K872s but stayed with the Neutrik termination.

Cables in. : ) Nicely made, similar thickness to the stock cable so light and flexible, a lot more so than the adjacent Fogcity dual strand Mogami 26AWG balanced cable for the HD800S.

….sonic improvements, maybe? Mostly it was to shorten the length but also to eliminate an extra connector which IMHO can introduce some distortion in the upper frequencies as the electrons have to jump and navigate multiple surfaces and sometimes dissimilar metals….

Listening to multiple flute recordings by Robert Aitken there is zero distortion in the upper registers, an excellent sign, overall a beautiful sounding headphone IMHO. 👍
