While I don’t have the new octa cables on hand yet, I do have the Chamber Carrying case and I quite like it and it’s nice to keep all my stuff secure when using with my backpack.

Brilliant case. Makes my IEMs sound even better! Happy hodilays and Merry Christmas to my fellow headfiers.

My take on the excellent Cadmus 8w https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/effect-audio-cadmus-8w.26217/review/29728/

I have had the chance to have a go at the 8W cables. Here are some pics and my opinion on SQ:

Ares S 8W:

I don't know why but I felt the Ares S 4W was a bit more balanced than its copper counter parts but this 8W version is in line with what copper cable are supposed to bring to the table. It is warmer and a bit fuller than the SPC cables and pairs exceptionally well with analytical IEMs bringing a bit more stability and level headed presentation. It doesn't deliver huge bass body but brings better roundness and smoother impact, pairing well with a bit hard or edgy sounding IEMs. The biggest testament is the sizeable well rounded bass I am able to extract out of my Aural Definition Pro 5 which is a flat analytical IEM.

The best thing is this cable barely tries to affect the rest of the spectrum, yes, it manages to control any kind of sharpness without breaking a sweat but if the IEM has a peak it doesn't flatten that, you will get a good feel of that but the harshness is curbed. Something I love is the accuracy and precision of the mid range. Mid range instruments are slightly in the V but vocals pop with high quality texture and details. Both the tonality and timber are natural and slightly on the smoother side.

Cadmus 8W:

Even when Eros S was the flagship, the cable that impressed me the most from the OG Signature series was the Cadmus. I love the mid range and the mid forward nature of this cable impressed me the most and the 8W version brings even more attributes to this signature. To be truthful, this 8W is a bit less mid forward but brings in a lot more information into the mix. It's like listening to a mid forward Evo 10. Loving this signature is easy. I love the extra bit of bite and definition with the vocals. While the 4W is a bit cushy and forgiving this 8W is a lot more revealing and exposes minor deformations in mastering. Its still is nowhere close to the Cleopatra II but I wasn't expecting this much of technical capabilities from a cable at this price.

As usual, Cadmus is not bassy but still has good amount of slam and punch, but if you need more weight opt for Ares S 8W or Eros S. Treble isn't in focus either but maintains excellent transparency while dialing down the energy a bit. While the 4W was good with sonics this 8W is sublime at this, thanks to the extra transparency and details this cable is super impressive.

I'll have some late impressions up on Thursday since I'll be getting the ARES S 8W in tomorrow.

Late on impressions with all the last min holiday shopping but I still think the 8W Ares S is quite the looker.
