Is there a such thing as a high quality female trrs connector?

Looks interesting

That looks as good as most I have seen so I will not add another. Tomorrow I work with a 4.4 mm TRRRS. The easy way for me to tell one pin from the other is to have a male version, pin that out then measure front to back to figure out the female pins. If there is an easier way, lay it on me lol.

Thanks, let me know. I can't find anything that has a barrel.

Doesn’t the one I posted have a barrel?

Oh totally missed that, just wish there were more pictures of the inside.

is Canare L-4E5C good for balanced audio? Thinking about doing a 2.5mm connector to a pair of mono 3.5mm connectors tied to my Grado sr60e. Its not a priority right now, but I'm curious about trying this out again with a little more complexity. Should I switch the cable after the y or just double up the wires using the same cable?

Looking further, this is basically what I was thinking http://www.lunashops.com/goods.php?id=5788

Does anyone know what cable Moondrop Kanas uses? It measures quite badly (0.8 Ohm) and I would like to turn it into 16-core braided. I have Papri AgCu but it is much stiffer coated material despite looking same. Kanas Pro cable is same soft as IT01 cable but due to having 8-core braid, is even more softer and also lot lighter.

Pls help me.
I diy a cable as on pic 1, connect sp1000 dap to hdvd800 amp using dual xlr3 input of the amp.
I completed the cable and it works okay.
I want to ask for help on grounding.
AK daps use 3.5mm jack as grounding for 2.5mm balance mode.
The question is : Do I welding 3 pin of 3.5 jack together?

1. I know it is dangerous logical. Bcs if plug only 3.5 or 3.5 is plugin before 2.5, the dap will active SE mode -> short circuit happen. This can happen to any cable which 2 jack (3.5 and 2.5) is free

2. AK's cable use a box to fix both 2.5 and 3.5 so they will enter the dap same time -> 2.5 balance mode will be active.

3. In balance mode, 3.5 jack has no signal. Also no bias voltage found between each pair of pin (R G and LG) - I test by headphone plug in 3.5

I hope some one has AK's cable (like the one in pic 2) can confirm on his/her cable : pin on 3.5 is weld together or only G pin use?
(Confirmation is quite easy even dont have a muti-meter in hand. An AA battery and a led can be use)

Meh, it's OK. So I have paracord and I can not figure out how to take out the core. How do I do this?

Make sure both ends are cut (some ends may be melted to stop fraying) and then it should just slide out pretty easily.

I figured that out, this is the first time I have worked with paracord.lol I usually work with techflex.

I currently own a pair of Beyerdynamic Amiron Home with the stock 3 meter cable which is entirely too long.

I plan to purchase an Earstudio ES100 and thus I would like a short cable possible a meter.

I have never soldered before, but I own a Dremel Soldering Kit, Wire Strippers, Helping Hands,

A bit of researching i have decided on the following, but I am unsure if everything with mesh up properly.

(2) Eidolic 3.5mm universal extended-tip plug

2' Quad Mic Cable

Y-Splitter

3.5mm Plug

Sleeving going to 3.5mm & Sleeving to headphones

You really want to take advantage of the ES100 having a balanced connection. I would recommend using a 2.5mm balanced plug, but that might get confusing.

I would do this: https://doublehelixcables.com/product/eidolic-2-5mm-spacious-barrel-for-astell-kern-4-pole-trrs/ The one you have listed is going to be a pain to solder in from my understanding.
