Where are those sold? I haven't seen them before, but I have read here about people MAKING them which isn't something I have time for :/

 
Google is your friend here, search for "headphone impedance adapter" produces enough hits, you probably want to get one with as low as resistance as possible for low-impedance headphones (something like 10-50 Ohm). Or you can also use a line-level attenuator between your DAC and headphone amp. Either may change SQ or signature, you'll need to experiment with your equipment to see if it is noticeable.

This is what I use with my IEMs - probably best $10 spent on audio.

Is there any place that has details on that cable?
There is no description whatsoever....
What does it do? Add impedance I guess? If so how much?

Not sure how much exactly of impedance it adds, but it provides jet black background and gives more volume range for my IEM.

If you google it, there are some reviews of IEM that mention it, however there are no separate reviews of this thing. Here is one that mentions it:

Anyway, it costs only $10 with free shipping and works perfectly in my case.

Given it is designed by UE for use with their 30 Ohm-ish IEMs it is probably a good match for other headphones of similar impedance, just a thought.

Yea I think I will pick it up and try it with my RP-HD10's and see.
The worst that can happen is that it sucks lol... its only $10

I am using an attenuator made from this guide: https://diyaudioheaven.wordpress.com/headphones/headphone-attenuation-adapter/

  For all of our products that use wall-warts, we're proud to introduce a multi-outlet floor wart that might simplify your AC power needs: http://schiit.com/products/floor-wart
 

And that's Cthulu?! D'oh, why I never thought of this?
 
(And also hoping for this to be in 220V for fellow Schiitheads in these regions!)

Thats pretty cool but overall I have no time to make such a thing at this point in time.
 
Just staying with a headphone amp that doesn't have that high of an output power seems fine for me.
 
I have ordered the one from ultimate ears.
Also I noticed that I can order the one that is talked about in your link from G1217, so I will see what happens with the ultimate Ears one first.
 
Thanks alot for the link!

No prob, glad to have helped!

So..

Bifrost multibit 2.0 any time soon?

Baldr hinted at a Bifrost upgrade a few days ago but no ETA was given.

Humm indeed SPC does help Mimby's shy trebles, this cable does sound quite good especially resolution-wise: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B005E6TSDA/

This worked well enough for me
Just for single coax.

SPC's increased resolution really does wonders on Frank Sinatra & Lou Rawls, perfect obsolete SQ for my obsolete tastes in music lol
