Awesome! Thanks for the advice.

True, it's all personal preference I guess

Or what about using Mogami W2528?

Yeah same idea as this except using the W2893: http://diyaudioprojects.com/Power/DIY-Shielded-RCA-Interconnect-Cables/ I personally would rather leave the cable inside rather than strip it out. Do you know if I just cut the shield and expose the wires if it will cause any harm? I've made plenty...

But Mogami W2893 is 4 strand, don't I want something 1 strand?

What wire/adapters do people recommend for RCA? Mogami W2319 and Neutrik NYS373-2? Anything better or recommended?

You can buy those premade, I make my own using Mogami 2893

What do you mean? You can use Mogami 2893.

Yeah, time lol. I don't think unbraiding it and braiding it again will cause any issues especially since it is in paracord.

I talked to John at JDS and he said that theoretically the C5D COULD drive the 600ohm Beyers, however it would only drive it up to something like 120db or around that if you do the math, which is a decent listening volume. The problem is that the C5D would be struggling to drive it. I wanted to...

You can just message me on here, I check head-fi pretty frequently. You should just buy a caliper to measure it.

I don't know how wide that is... You'd have to measure it.

There are various sizes of adapters, is obviously smaller than

That is the cable length, you need the cable width, and more importantly the adapter width at it's biggest point. The problem is even if you fit the techflex over the wire there is no way to secure it unless you like glue it down or a better solution shrink tube it.

Adaptive mode fixed my issue, no audible differences (and honestly I wouldn't expect any). Sounds great, just as incredible as before, driving my DT770 250s no problem :D
