I am still looking to have a good 4.4mm terminated cable. Any recommendation?

Looking at effect audio, Dita cable if the 4.4mm is available.

they are very responsive.  i bought the 4.4 mm plug from them and receive them promptly.

You need to plug something in, you can turn down the volume to really low, but you need something plugged in.
 
If you don't plug something in the audio circuitry is in fact not electrically complete, so the capacitors aren't actually doing anything because they aren't discharging into any significant load


I'm using the iBasso burn-in cable in the SE.

Hi guys! I just joined headfi and this is my first post. Officially part of the Sony family. Time to find some 4.4 cables!

Nice! Is that the 335 DW I see? And I'm sure they go together really well with the 1A. There's a few Fitear-compatible 4.4mm cables already in the Japanese market (try checking E-earphones), but personally I believe Fitear themselves will address this sometime this year.
 
Also, is that from the Kimi no Na Wa OST?

Glad to say I hooked up the Z1R balanced again last night and at max volume (capped) it was sounding much much better.  Aaaand relax

Hello, I am new to the forum.I just got the Sony NW-WM1A and it looks and sounds great. I noticed a clicking sound that comes from the DAP when it switches between different resolutions. Is it normal? I am using balanced out.

It's normal - it's because the engineers used a magnetically operated mechanical switch to act as the output muting circuit (which prevents loud pops and noise being pump into the headphone when the machine switches modes etc) instead of the usual electronic transistor which they claim affects the sound quality.
