Anybody who has the iFi diablo, I can not recommend the SE Viablue jack, the tip is wider and take some pressure to push in. Lovely cable but it just takes more force than other jacks. Buy Furutech or standard instead.

I have two Forza cables with 1/4 inch Viablue, no problem with my Diablo, perfect fit.

I just got three Claire HPC Mk2 cables, all with black semi transparent insulation.

One for HD600 with Furutech 4.4mm Pentaconn, one for DCA Aeon Noire and Mr Speakers Aeon Flow Open with Viablue 1/4 inch plug and one for DT1770 also with Viablue 1/4 inch.

Beautifully made, fantastic attention to detail, excellent components quick delivery and very reasonably priced even if the Furutech 4.4mm does add a bit.

I am not really into the possible effects of a cable on sound but they certainly all sound good …. if that’s a thing, I know a lot believe it is.

Many thanks Mat 👍

Am running Forza Claire Hybrid HPC (4.4mm balanced) for IE900 on R8, working great by larger sound stage, more texture, and dynamics. The mid range got a little thicker, but not much. I do like the cable. It has to be noted that the response of the customer support is quick, accurate and helpful.

This cable makes the IE900 disappear. ^^

Today received the Claire HPC Mk2 for Meze Liric. Sound feels like it opened but I didn't do the pulling in/out to compare with the old cable, it was for me mainly about aesthetics - they look nice together:

I need honest and informed opinions. Is the Forza Audioworks Noir Hybrid HPC cable a good upgrade to the original Audeze LCD-2 Classic cable? I can buy this Forza Audioworks cable for 125 euros, is it worth the investment?
the Claire HPC mk2 is a easy win over the Arya V2 stock cable. The hybrid should be better indeed

I have three Noir Hybrid headphone cables: mini XLR (for Audeze, ZMF), 3.5mm (for Clear, Gjallarhorn JM Edition), and Sennheiser HD600 / 650 / 6XX. The headphone cables are excellent.

Tolerances on both 4.4mm plugs and sockets still aren't ideal, but I'm seeing less and less issues with them, which is good.

Thank you :)

New Forza AudioWorks 4.4mm to 4.4mm interconnect with all five poles used so it works line into ifi Diablo. Many 4.4mm interconnects only use four of the five poles, omitting the ground, and they don’t play nice with the Diablo.

Matches the Forza HD600 cable.

That's the idea, thanks a lot! Also, may I use your post on my FB wall please :) ?

To me this cable is well worth the investment, plus if you can get it for only 125 EUR is a no brainer.

Thanks to you too :)
