So, the modular ends, are they a solid one piece constructions ? Or are they Wired construction ? If they are wired, then what are those wires materials ?

thank you

I have No clue

Email MusicTek one of our sponsors. If they do not have the connector you want, then order on Dunu website or Penon. All these vendors are sponsors of HeadFi, so first place to go is our sponsor section.

The reason why I asked was because I recently bought one of the Top Of The Line Modular design and dissected it. It uses a very flimsy Litz copper of about 28-30awg sizes
A pic is a thousand words

Modular is awesome, but when it is a 1 piece constructions. Otherwise they are just ultra short adapters, and this little adapter can influence the whole high end expensive constructions in a huge bottle neck way

Is that one of ours? The color on that anodize doesn't quite look like one of ours and the curve of the black plastic part is different --- going to assume it's from the company whose name is an acronym.

Irrespective of which company it's from, these plugs cannot be made in one piece because of how complex the locking mechanism is. They have to slide smoothly, lock, and be able to withstand 5000+ usage cycles. They also need to contain several shielding layers to prevent short circuits. Depending on the plating we use, the internal shielding structure is actually different because the way we plate palladium is very different from copper.

If we made these plugs in one piece for all four plug types, each plug would cost well over $100 (at mass production cost). Considering the fact that we already have many people concerned that our cables are "too expensive", making plugs in such a manner is simply... imprudent.

We have never considered the plugs to be 'superior' to an adapter in terms of signal transmission --- they should be on equal footing. We actually make adapter plugs ourselves. However, our modular cable system is smaller and more robust than most adapters, with fewer points of potential failure. Most importantly, almost everyone we've encountered have mentioned that they're more convenient to use.

There are some individuals who have commented that the plugs are too bulky. Most of these individuals have not touched or used our cables before. We've performed size comparisons against alternative systems, and they're comparable in size.

Perhaps you should give an options for 1 piece constructions. People who seeks for high end quality will want them for sure. You can supply it as your cable options and also DIY supply.

Now, 1 single piece constructions should be superiors to any kind of adapters.

Could you tell what internal wires materials are being used inside the current models ? Thank you

You are right on that these are not DUNU Brand.

Hey! Do someone know where i can buy the connector? Or a connector that will fit the modular system?

The connector is patented and proprietary to @DUNU-Topsound. You can only get it on their cables.

For those of you interested, we've gotten permission from Leiyin Audio (parent company of @shenzhenaudio) to re-publish the most recent episode of their HIFI Tour series (roughly translated from Chinese as 'Sonic Explorations') that recently published on Chinese social media platforms, which is a visit to our production facilities in Dongguan (a major city of the Pearl River Delta just outside of Shenzhen which makes roughly over 90% of all headphone audio products in the world, along with many other electronics). They also speak with our chief engineer, Andy Zhao, at length.

The language is in Mandarin Chinese but we have subtitled this episode in English ourselves; just turn on subtitles and you're set. The subtitles have been generated to preserve the original meaning and spirit of the conversation and verified for accuracy. Rest easy, they're not machine auto-translations!



Some highlights include:

• A look at the torture tests we put our cables through
• Extensive views of our production line and our QC process

Many thanks to Leiyin Audio for the permission to re-publish this tour footage. They also publish other factory tours on YouTube, which they subtitle in English.

Thank you for taking the time to translate this nice video. Keep up the good work Dunu team! I can see now that my Blanche will likely outlast me!

Hello,

Are there straight modular plugs for Dunu cables? I have DUW02 and love it, but I would love it more with straight plugs

Glad you're enjoying BLANCHE. Its supple flexibility makes it one of our very favorite cables. It also passes our cable torture tests with flying colors!

Sorry, we do not have straight plugs for the Modular Cable System. A third-party company offers 45 degree plugs, but they're very rare and extremely hard to come by, especially outside of Asia.

Just awful buying service from an authorized dealer. I bought a cable Dunu Blanche, waited for 10 days to be sent, as a result, I received a message that my cable did not go to the transport company, now there is still a refund procedure, since the desire to buy has disappeared.

Did you bought from Penon? I had a similar experience, it was awful

Thank you, I opened a dispute and it seems that it has already decided in my favor. Seller Beteran audio store AliExpress

Again, we apologize for the inconvenience. Now we know the dealer, we will definitely look into the problem and provide further guidelines.
