Sounds good! The ones you linked won't work (I think) for my Ananda, I need 4.4 + dual 3.5. This (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005861726119.html) seems to be a valid option, but I do read that silver is somewhat brighter than copper, and I find my Ananda somewhat bright. But the price is...- AlexKalopsia

Thanks for the help, and yes I hear you this is all super subjective. The only reason why I haven't gone with 20$ balanced cables from AliExpress was specifically because I assumed they would be a waste of time in terms of quality, and might give me a negative impression of what a balanced cable...- AlexKalopsia

Thank you, I think this is quite helpful for a total noob like myself. To be honest, I did try the Ananda on high gain unbalanced, and 120 volume seems to reach what is humanly ok for my ears. So my understanding is that gaining double the amount of output is not necessarily useful here? Or, I...- AlexKalopsia

Anyone here has any experience with balanced cables? I am meditating whether I should get one for my HiFiMan Ananda, or if should just use the one that came with the headphones. What is the most immediate difference that can be noticed?- AlexKalopsia

Also note that if they have very huge second hand selections, and they have a full-on setup I was completely unaware of: * If you wanna try a DAP, they ask you if you have your headphones and your SD card with you * If you don't have your music with you, they can give you a temp one with a few...- AlexKalopsia

Definitely go to e-Earphones (https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZMkzdeSh1pSLysjh6) which is basically a paradise. If you happen to go to Nakano Broadway, you can also go to Fujiya Avic (https://maps.app.goo.gl/4an597YH579JuzKU6). You can easily get tax free as long as you bring your passport with you.- AlexKalopsia

Hi everyone, I went on a trip to Japan and scored a ZX707 (2nd hand) for around 450$, very happy! (For anyone interested, you can find tons of 2nd hand ones in great condition). Either way, I am very new to DAPs and I have a few questions: 1) This is maybe super silly, but is there any way to...- AlexKalopsia

Anyone in EU (even better Sweden) who imported the JP version? I am just worried customs will brutalize the costs- AlexKalopsia

My cans (HiFiMan Sundara) have impedence of 25 Ω and sensitivity of 103 dB (fairly easy to drive). Will I have any trouble if I get a model of the ZX707 without high gain?- AlexKalopsia

Completely agree with the above and why it's been so disappointing. Feels like we got promised updates and improvements, instead we all just got left behind- AlexKalopsia
