Did the stock cable on the Vega need some kind of Burn-in ? Because actually, im using my Fiio balanced cable that was on the Fiio F9, and the mid are more clear and the bass is tighter... from a AK70 balanced...

The stock Vega cable is single ended (3.5mm) - if you were using the balanced cable from your F9, you will be comparing the balanced output of the AK70 to the single ended output, and that will potentially be different in terms of power, crosstalk etc. That may be the source of the differences?

I did some experiment with a Black Dragon 2.5mm to 3.5mm stereo adaptor with the Fiio cable. And still my 15$ Fiio cable sound much better to me... I’ll going to burn the Alo stock cable for 100hours and will tell if its really better or not...

Yes, finally the stock Litz cable with the Vega...come to life ! Much better then the Fiio balanced cable on the AK70... Now, lets spend more money on a Silver balanced cable :wink:

Glad to hear it! I've read that a pure silver cable will make the treble a little harsh. A lot of people suggest sticking with SPC. I've got a Silver litz but it's a Kobiconn balanced termination, so I can't compare it out of my Mojo until I get an adapter :frowning2:

I found the DHC Symbiote v3 to be the perfect match to my Vega. It's smooth and clear, no harshness anywhere.

I move a lot, now

The IFI Ican SE Amp power supply does not have a ground .. And the housing of the Vega is Metal... I swear this was scary...
I've gotten a small shock to my temple before, which I attributed to static from the cable connection to my head.
