I forgot the audio chain: Player foobar2000, DAC Gustard X20Pro (an incredible bargain!), Amp Schiit Mjolnir 2 equipped with two Telefunken Select Gold 1959 tubes, Curious USB Cable, USB purifier Regen Uptone.

I just thought I'd chime in here, as well, in praise of F.A.W. It's true of all that's been said here of the company (and Matt). There are just a small handfull of companies, imo, that seem to have that 'it' factor of combining all the right ingredients in making the whole experience such a joy to deal with. Somehow, you just know this is an awesome company. I will definitely be passing the word around. I've not seen one bad complaint, anywhere! Wow! I own the Akg K812's and will be using the cables I'm purchasing with the Grace Design M920 and the Oppo HA-2. I'm going to purchase the Noir Hybrid HPC and the LOD (Silver) Lightning to USB-A, respectively. I can't wait to test these cables out! Thanks F.A.W. (Matez!)

  Received my Hybrid Series IEM - Cable : Quad hybrid semi-Litz UPOCC Cryo 7N wire today.
 
MMCX connection to my SE846 is perfect! Good start. Cable feels very well made, supple but strong. The Neutrik 3.5mm right angled connector is built like a tank! Good stuff

How flexible is this cable ? was looking for one like this for my SE846, but with 2.5mm TRRS balances for my AK DAP.
is the cable really flexible ? wan we forget it when listening to music as it is written ?
I'm want a very very supple, flexible cable..
thanks

FAW full copper arrived and mounted on my Utopia. too early to say anything, but this seems really a very good match

Received a hybrid cable for my Shure SRH1540's and FAW Color USB for my Mojo before Christmas. Really happy with them so far.

Is Matez still around? I've emailed him at F.A.W. and he hasn't responded. Should I just lay low until he responds? I'm not quite sure how he handles customer service inquiries, compared to others more familiar in dealing with him. Don't get me wrong, though. He's responded quickly to a few emails already regarding an order, but the next and last question I needed, he then disappeared for over a week. Just curious.

Send it again please, I am sure I just missed it. Sorry for that

Curious to see what the Forza MMCX connectors look like for the Shure. Care to post a picture?

Just wanted to add a quick note that I'm really happy with the Claire HPC Mk2 cable I received a bit ago from FAW.  Beautiful, well-made, quickly delivered.  I've only been able to compare the FAW balanced cable to SE, so not reliable due to amp differences, but I like it!

I will tell you about my impressions of my new Forza Noir Hybrid cable to AKG K812. The listening scene is broader. Listening to acoustic instruments is very realistic and you can hear all details in the whole tonal register. You have a rapid and deep bass, and the treble is very clean. I mostly listen to jazz and classical music. If you have music in a high class recording and listen now you can hear the difference from the standard cable easy.
I listen through Schiit LYR 2 headamp and TEAC UD-503 DAC.

Hey, Benke, if your still around: I also have the K812's and would love to hear more impressions of the Noir Hybrid HPC, as I'm ordering the same cable (with the Furutech). How much improvement over the stock cable is there? Is there even more improvement with time?

How much has changed the sound?

Lars,
I can not compare with a stock 3.5 mm SE cable since they use different outputs.
it’s not that bright as Silver Dragon but reproduces all the details as well,  the low end is more prominent and it gives more body.
So  I would say this is a really good compromise between analytically sounding Silver Dragon and pure copper cables.
