I just received my Hifiman Arya's and was wondering if anyone makes a molded coiled cable with a 6.3 mm jack?

The reason is I've had experiences having to get out of my chair while listening to music and moving away where the cable suddenly pulls taught. Having the coil allows for a bit more freedom that acts like a spring reminding you you've moved too far and won't risk the headphones or the DAC from damage.

Also, are there any negative effect to the quality of the signal? I don't mind paying a little more for a quality cable but would like to keep it under $100

Thanks in advance

I will say this...a coiled cable makes an audible difference on a guitar cable.

With that said, if you wish to give it a try without breaking the bank or rewiring your headphones, HOSA makes a coiled headphone extension cable hpe-325c. It's about 20 bucks.

If you search "trs coiled extension cable", im sure there are jazzier options if you want to buy something fancy.
