I see, so you never really noticed any differences between your Lqi cables and the stock cables in terms of SQ?
I do not. I use them on HD800, HP-3, and utopia, all balanced and terminated in 4.4 which is why I have them. I like that they are reasonably priced, flexible, no microphonics, and quality construction. I'm pretty sure the HP-3 cables will work in the Clear that is coming too. I also have some cables from CustomCans that I like for all the same reasons.
I have Surf Cables for Oppo PM-2 and PM-3, again all the same reasons. If any of these cables were"bad" sound wise I would maybe know it but they are not.
