Two things, please!

1. I would love Fiio to make a cable that uses the LC-RE's interchangeable, right-angle connectors but with a less expensive OCC copper cable for around $100.

2. I'd also really love Fiio to make a set of 2.5, 3.5, 4.4mm straight connectors that could be used with the interchangeable connector system for around $20. That would give the user all the options they need from one cable.

right-angle connectors?The plug you like FD5‘s or LC-RE’s?

Actually, I like both. Right-angle connectors are usually the best choice for DAPs, but a straight connector is usually preferred for use with an iPhone Lightning dongle or any of the USB-C dongle-DACs. This is why it would be really nice to have both options available for the same cable.

Also for those of us who do use them at the desk now and again. I have a Fiio K3 incoming and anything desktop is just no-no-no with an angled connector.

LC-RE，haha

Well yes , although I prefer straight plugs.

So since we have a high end variant , then as I have expressed my opinion from the first post we just need the same FD5 cable available for a separate purchase.

Maybe it will come soon enough.

So far I am loving my FD5's after 1 day but I've run into a strange problem after trying the more narrow nozzles. As far as I can tell both of the narrow nozzles are physically identical, except one of the nozzles produces a strange kind of muffled sound. At first I thought the driver had failed but the muffled distorted effect follows that one small nozzle. How can two seemingly identical nozzles produce such different sounds? Did I receive a defective unit?

Sounds like an imperfection in the nozzle unless it also happens with the wide nozzles on the same side. With how narrow they are, they're going to be much, much more susceptible to occlusion.

Interesting, I will examine them further to see if I can identify the difference. My first thought was that I wasn't screwing it in firmly enough, but it's definitely not that. I guess I will be contacting Fiio about getting a replacement nozzle.

So I tried to contact Fiio by clicking the Support link in the contact us section of their website and I get a 404 error:

Dear friend,
Our support link is 'https://www.fiio.com/supports' instead.

Which page did you click?

Best regards

I went to Fiio.com using the latest version of Firefox for Android, at the bottom of the page was a section titled "contact us" and the left most icon in this section looked sort of like an envelope and was labeled "support". That's the link I clicked and then copy/pasted into my previous comment when it didn't work. The link you shared is not working for me either, I'm getting "secure connection failed", it looks like Fiio.com is having certificate issues right now.

Edit:
I did some brief testing, Chrome for Android works without the certificate error. Both Firefox and Firefox Focus on Android 10 are giving invalid certificate errors. Every browser I've tried on Windows 10 works.

I think my poor mailperson was making the rounds in the dark last night. I had given up on checking after 8:30 pm. There's some irony in the U.S.P.S. Postmaster General's name being DeJoy

Just opened my mail this morning. I'll have to test out the RHA filters later today.

VERY much looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

For $13.50 USD (if you supply your email addr. for a 10% off code), it's well worth getting the full set
RHA Nozzles

There is a height difference; for some, this could be a world of improvement. Fortunately for me, both the stock and the RHA nozzles are a good fit. The knurling on the screen end of the FiiO is *wider; which makes my repeated removal of a soft foam tip worrisome, as the retention is very high. On the RHA while the tips slip on/off easily, I've yet to experience a separation of tip in ear syndrome (AKA where are the screw'n tweezers).

I don't have a caliper to measure with, but *the FiiO nozzle appears to have a wider diameter.

There is a notable difference to how the higher frequencies are effected by each respective nozzle/filter. But the low end is retained across all RHA nozzles.

As a test song, I chose "Spirit in the Sky", Norman Greenbaum.
Treble/Gold: in the intro, there's no escaping the level of white noise in the background
Reference/Silver: White noise is a step or two down, from the Gold. Overall soundstage (width) takes a small hit as well.
Bass/Black: much less white noise. Soundstage (width) feels the most pinched, of the three nozzles, still acceptable.

Please don't take my observation on the soundstage to be a detractor. All three nozzle/filters still have adequate soundstage, but it is noticeable as how each filter effects the overall presentation. For $13.50 USD (if you supply your email addr. for a 10% off code), it's well worth getting the full set: link to RHA

I can see myself flipping between my 2 ply hack (for the stock nozzle) and the RHA Reference/[edit]]Gold Silver,[edit] depending on my mood & the time of the day
