For the balanced 4.4 should I get cables with the 4.4 connector or get a 4.4 to 2.5 adapter and just have 2.5 balanced cables?

Personally I would get the cable with 4.4 conector as 1 less area that could fail plus the 4.4 seems like a much stronger conection than 2.5.

Hope this helps

I saw your quote and I only have a 3.5 connector but Im buying tin audio T2 and P1 so I would like to buy a balanced cable. I know next to nothing about balanced cable but your saying getting a 4.4 is a better choice that 2.5? I felt the 2.5 input looked more robust on the M11 but Im just going on looks alone. So your saying a 4.4 cable a stronger cable and makes a better connection? thanks for your help

All I can say for balanced is that it gives more power to the earphone which is good for bigger cans but may affect some frequencies on low ohm earbuds (positively or negatively) the rest is hearsay but that's my opinion.

I have 2.5mm cables and its fine and if you pick this option I'd get one with an L bend as it feels safer than a straight end.

I however was able to try a friends 4.4 over the weekend and it felt so much safer in the m11 that I am now looking to get replacements for my cables :frowning2:

Hope this helps

I've been using this dap a lot. Highly recommend it. I've sold several dap, hiby r6, r6pro, R3, ibasso dx200,150,80,120, Sony wm1a and others. I like this one a lot. Very versatile but just sounds fantastic

By safer do you mean because it has an L bend or because it sits better in the 4.4 input? Thanks again,I just want to buy the best balanced cable that works with my headphones.

2.5mm L bend will be less stress on the connection to the DAP in comparison to stright, I feel the 4.4 is more robust.

Hope this helps

+1 on 4.4mm, at least L-bend with 2.5mm. I wouldn't pocket the device with straight 2.5. Just compare 2.5, 4.4, 3.5 below.

Damn, but
Mmmm, the Hugo 1 and 2 with a phone fits my jean pocket.
that is still bulky and requires cables (unless you are using Bluetooth with the 2). Not to mention pretty darn expensive if something happened. Still, must be a nice combination.
