Both Mr. Banner and Miss DuBois struggle with significant inner conflict and across both their character arcs they learn to reconcile with their insecurities!

We tend not to make sweeping statements about the sound of our cables because we would rather them speak for themselves. However, beyond the ergonomic differences (CHORD is significantly more flexible because of its tighter weave and lack of copper shield), the NOBLE will have better crosstalk performance because of the shield. The consequence is that some people have reported sharper imaging characteristics with the NOBLE as compared to the CHORD.

hmm so is the Blanche thicker than the Noble / Luna stock? 8 x 26 awg vs. 4 x 24 awg?

The Viridian looks quite thick too, somewhere in between Hulk and the Noble but table on the first page says 4 x 26 awg.

Also, no photos of the Mandate for comparison?

The Blanche is just a little thicker but very similar thickness. The Hulk is thicker than Viridian. I don't have the Mandate, sorry. Cheers!

The VIRIDIAN appears oddly thick in that picture --- might be due to the angle of the shot.

With the imminent release of the Studio SA6, we are now ready to reveal more details about the DUW-03 cable.

​

It is a handbraided, 8-core weave composed of 26 AWG high-purity OCC silver-plated copper Litz wire, so there's insulation enameled to each and every conducting strand. The wires are furthermore arranged in a coaxial, dual-layered fashion. A concentric layer of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) inner sheathing separates the two layers of wiring to ensure optimal signal preservation. The DUW-03 will be released as a standalone cable soon after the release of the Studio SA6.

I tell you what, I give Linsoul credit for immediately shipping my DUW02 (plus additional balanced plugs) order. The carrier(s) used since hitting the U.S., however, has not been very impressive. I understand heavy shipping these days, but dang...

Order placed early morning July 5th (my time/date); received shipping notice from Linsoul mid-afternoon July 6. The tracking service link they provided was not very useful, but I finally figured out I could track via DHL eCommerce Tracking. It arrived pretty quickly to O'Hare Airport in Chicago on July 10, and has been milling around several stops in the Chicagoland area ever since. Supposedly it was tendered to US Postal early morning of July 16 for ultimate delivery to me, but USPS tracking still shows this in pre-shipment, with a label printed July 9; no receipt of package scan.

Oh, the joys of dealing with international non-expedited shipping! LMAO, I continue to feel foolish for not spending the additional $12 for express have shipping, though again, in my defense, I wasted $$ on express shipping from Europe these past few months, with deliveries still delayed significantly in instances, so I was reluctant to go that route again.

The USB C plug is extremely interesting.
Would be perfect way to connect my earphones to my iPad Pro and my MacBook.
Please let me know if it will be available to purchase.

they should make the hulk cable green, it would look awesome

Just received the Dunu Blanche--what an absolutely beautiful cable! Great craftsmanship. Supple. Quick connects work great. Really, really nice.

Paired it with my Campfire Ara. I may have to get another.

I also received the Blanche today! I have the 2pin version and it is a stunning visual match with my CIEM. The packaging is fantastic - something to put in a vitrine. I haven't even dared to try it out yet. My adrenaline is too high during the day ;-p , I will wait until tonight when my hearing is more susceptible to nuanced sound differences.

But from the looks and feel, I think I have to order another one with MMCX... eventually.

Blanche connected to the CIEM of my choice.

The 2-pin Blanche can fit 64Audio A12t securely enough?

It's a perfect fit. Sits very tight and flush on recessed sockets.
