    Xinsh 4 Core 5N Upocc Single Crystal Copper Upgraded Cable with Tfz and 4.4Mm connectors. Regular price €44. Shipment and any taxes at buyer’s expense. I have the same cable with MMCX/4.4mm that I use between an iFi Go Bar and a Meze Advar and it’s seriously brilliant. I wanted to get a 3,5mm...

    TOPPING E70 DAC & L70 AMP is up!

    I want to buy one to control my headphones and my monitor speakers, who have XLR in. I could do that with an L30ii. Is the L70 worth the upgrade? I also have a Meze Advar with 4,4mm Xinhs cable, which I could plug into the L70 but not the L30ii. Here in Europe, it's €150 vs €400.

    Low end. Cheap. Generic. Otherwise bang for buck cable thread!

    I'm really happy with the Advar as it is now. So imagine my surprise it's mentioned nowhere on ASR. Anyway. I'll probably not buy a new cable for my Audeze LCD-2 closed back. I did an extensive test back and forth between the Advar and the LCD2. There are obvious differences, but not so much in...

    Modular Cables Impressions

    Xinhs also seems to use the small 4 pin connectors for their modular cables. I was wondering if there's a converter from this "micro 4 pin" to regular XLR? Their XLR cable cost much more than these modular cables as it's a graphene cable. So it would be a cheaper solution. And more choice in cables.

    Low end. Cheap. Generic. Otherwise bang for buck cable thread!

    I was a bit anxious, but mainly very curious, when I bought a 4c single crystal copper (no silver plating) Xinhs for my Meze Advar. The Advar is by nature quite bright with a serious peak on 8KHz. As I can't always EQ it everywhere, I wanted to try out pure copper instead of the silver plated...

    Dan Clark Audio Aeon 2 Noire Discussion/Impressions Thread

    I specifically picked the 14" and not my older 16". The new models have a built-in headphone amp and can drive 300 ohm and other picky headphones without any trouble. Of course, it's still possible it wasn't sufficient. But I'm not going to drag an external amp to my sofa to relax so for me in...

    Yeah, I need to say that I'm pretty skeptical about high end cables myself. But it also makes the difference between a balanced one (this copper one) and the non-balanced stock cable. And it's not very expensive, so might as well give it a try. There's several other ways of taming the hot...

    Advar worth it over Blessing 2?

    Thanks for your help, Genesis. I just ordered the Advar with a Go Bar. I also ordered a pure copper only (no silver anywhere) XINHS balanced 4,4mm cable on AliExpress, which could help smoothing out the mid treble. And then there's the micropore tape hack as well. So I have no worries that I'll...

    Right, thanks for the info. I just ordered the Advar, a Go Bar and this cable. Cable will arrive after my holidays so I'll have plenty of time to get to know the Advar+Go Bar with stock before I can compare with the XINHS.

    Low end. Cheap. Generic. Otherwise bang for buck cable thread!

    Hi! I'm looking at buying an Advar but it seems treble is possibly a bit hot. So if I upgrade from the stock cable, I'd like to get a copper only balanced one. Is this one from XINHS what I'd be looking for to tame the highs? How does the cable handle...

    Advar worth it over Blessing 2?

    I am in no position to try out any IEMs here in Belgium. I don't know of any shop who carries them where I can demo them. Best guess is read a lot, then buy blind. Still, everything I read about the Advar sounds good, and the Bach reference is important to me as I listen to classical a lot...

    Advar worth it over Blessing 2?

    Thanks for your summary here and your link to the review. Looking at the graphs, the bass would be more pronounced on the Advar, and then there's the 6-8K peak. I was going to say I'd pick a Blessing 2. But then this little thing happened. I know of exactly one shop in Europe that had it, but...

    Advar worth it over Blessing 2?

    I currently don't have IEMs, but I have an Audeze LCD-2 Closed Back which is great, but much too large to travel with. I picked it over an Aeon Noire after a lengthy comparison because it's much more neutral in the bass and the soundstage is much wider. As for speakers, I usually work with my...

    Advar worth it over Blessing 2?

    The title says it all. I haven't listened to either, but I'm looking for a fairly balanced sound. If V-shaped, then more subtle is better. The Meze Advar is getting rave reviews. Is it worth 2x the price of the Moondrop Blessing 2?

    The Closed-Back Headphone Thread (Plus Comparisons & Reviews)

    Thanks for the tip. I have been playing around with EQ, but unfortunately, it's not an easy solution for what I do. I produce my music on a modular synth. It is very hard or impossible to apply EQing there to compensate for the specific signature of a certain set of headphones. That makes me...
