Guys, buy this cheap $15 yet excellent cable for your maestro Mini and thank me later.

It's pure copper strands running to the (+) terminal of the IEM & Silver-plated copper running to the (-) Negative terminal on each channel. Makes for more visceral BASS and very clear mids and treble. This little cable is actually made of quality wires (4 core only though). Smoked a quality $100 silver plated cable I just bought from Audio64 online store.
Used it on the Monarch and it actually improved the sound lol.
Got this idea from QDC and the way they always use this combination to give their IEMs a clear yet more spherical sound field.
Even tested on my OG Sony Discman model D-838K which has the beloved Burr-Brown DAC (PCM67U) + enough power to run Monarch at just volume 4 out of 10
On the Discman, it's like I'm at the venue.
Side Note: PCM67U combines a conventional thin-film R-2R ladder DAC and an advanced one-bit DAC which helps the DAC attain high resolution, minimal glitches, and low zero-crossing distortion. You can snatch a Discman on eBay with this DAC for $35. models like D-M805, D-808K and D-303 also use this DAC.
You won't believe the sound you get for $35. I feel like Modern DAPs are ripping me off now lol. The limitation is the number of FLAC files you can burn to a CD-R (They don't read CD-RW) but the sound is so wide, open, very analog, and musical. Turn on MEGABASS to turn it into a party.
