Any suggested cable replacement I'm not looking to pay over 200 I paid 430 for this thing
I lucked up and found a used Silver Dragon 2.5mm balanced cable for $265. I have 2.5mm to 4-Pin adapter to use on my main rig.

Doesnt come with a balanced cable does it?
Corpse, Dyson, Arctic or Impact cables are all good for balanced! I'm guessing you mean XLR btw...

oh you have one too :), what's your take on it I saw the 430 deal and said I had to. I was thinking of using it for portable use just about anything, walking around my house, on a plane etc i might use it for gaming too.

Yup, the stock cable is single-ended 3.5mm with a 1/4" TRS adapter. No balanced cable included. I just use my balanced 4-pin XLR dual 3.5mm cable* that I made previously for use with my other cans.

Finally got word of my Cardas Parsec Cable. Should have it tomorrow 😁. Damn good 57 day wait.... I'll give it a go on my E1DA 9038s gen 2 and also try it on my Woo firefly.
Do you know if they imported or produced here? which configuration did you get?

They import the cable from the U.S as it's hand made there. It was a long wait for me though :/ but it'll be well worth it. I went with the 1.5 metre, 2.5 balanced cable with focal/sony dual 3.5 connectors. The reason why I ordered from Addicted to Audio though is because they are selling much cheaper than other places. The exact cable sells for $320 - $330 AUD everywhere else which is a $60 difference.

Nice, let us know what you think when you get it.
