2.5mm to 4.4mm adapter/plug problem

[mihaig]

Can anyone recommend a high quality 2.5mm male to 4.4mm female adapter? And a high quality 4.4mm male plug.

Right now I have a Fiio one, which works very well with an original Sony cable but doesn't work well with a 4.4mm plug I bought from eBay (I have to pull it out about half a mm to hear sound on both channels).

Of course I can blame the plug (and I do - can see a small difference when put near an original Sony) but the seller sold a lot of them and they work if inserted directly into a 4.4mm player.

Which makes me think the tolerances on both Fiio adapter and the plug are small enough so they don't matter when paired with a high quality component, but large enough to make a difference when combined.

Forgot to mention I am from EU. Add shipping and taxes and their price skyrockets to the moon

Hi @mihaig,

I suggest trying Penon Audio's dedicated cable store.

www.penon-offical.com/product/penon-hifi-balanced-adapter-cable/

This should definitely work for you, I have nearly all their adapters & cables.

Feel free to ask more if you need.

Hope you have a great day !

I know this is not based on EU but this is the best I can think of

Thanks for the suggestions. I ended up buying a Hiby R6Pro, which has a 4.4mm output. Problem solved, without any adapter

I’m in the uk and these guys are great, they have pretty much every connector and these 4.4mm are great quality and easy to work with https://oidiosound.co.uk/diy/connectors/diy-trrrs-4-4mm.html

The best 2.5mm to 4.4mm I’ve found is effect audio’s But it’s expensive $50.

is there anything vice versa of this? I need 4.4mm female to 2.5mm male adapter but without cable. Just a straight adapter. Cant find any of them...

2.5 female pentacom
4.4 male pentacom or furutech rodium carbon
It is my choice
Pentacom signature is warmer than Furutech rodium carbon
