Hello everyone so i recently bought these headphones, i really like them, they sound magnificent, what i don't like that much are the bundled cables, so here am i asking for suggestions.
I found an e-shop in my country (Italy) which has a decent amount of audio components and products, and i'm not really sure what to pick to make this cable. Honestly i have an idea but i'm not sure it's the best way. So i was looking to buy Mogami W2893 as a cable (the miniaturized version), and neutrik plugs for both the amp and the headphones, one mini-XLR (REAN RT3FC-B) and for the TRS 6.35mm plug a NEUTRIK NP3X-B. Now i've come up with these parts because the mini-XLR plug from neutrik, is the only one i can easily find, and it's inexpensive, but apparently, the max diameter of cable it can take is about 4.5mm, so i guess i can't go much above that, and i prefer also not to go much below, like 2/2,5mm hence the ~4.8mm W2893, which is smaller than the regular one, the W2534 (above 6mm iirc), and would allow me to use that mini XLR and be just right for it. But the W2893 is a quad star cable, so it has 4 conductors and 1 shield, and i was wondering, since these headphones have an unbalanced connection (the mini-XLR is 3pin) how should i use that cable, which wires, all of them? 2 pairs for signal and the shield for ground? Just the adjacent 2 for signal, and the shield for ground? Also, i want a very soft and flexible cable, is the W2893 that way?
Thanks for the help. Really appreciated.
