Hello good people,

I am new to good quality sound although I have dreamed about it for years. Mostly listened to my Ipod Classic through m50.

Just a few days ago I bought WM1A (shout out to tenedosian for awesome buying experience) and in a couple more weeks I'm gonna buy Focal Clears. Now the Focals have only 3 meter cable for the balanced driving, my question is, do any of you have any experience with walking around a 3m cable while using your DAPs?

Should I send the cable to some professionals to shorten it to 1.2? If so who would be able to do such a job?
Should I buy a separate cable from a third party manufacturer?

I've read that the focals have some inventive cable attachment method to the cans, does it mean that I can only use focal cables for a reliable connection the the cans?

BTW does anyone have 4 pin XLR to 4.4mm adaptor?

Rookie questions, but hopefully someone will want to help out.

Ok so I've decided to cut the cable in half and put 4.4mm pentaconn male and female connections on the respective ends.

Do any of you guys know of a Europe based shop or professional cable service or an experienced headfier that could do such a job?

Would very much appreciate such info
