I'm after a 4-pin XLR to 2.5mm 4-pin socket, about 3 ft long, so I can use my R1s (and Zenith of course) out of my desktop balanced amp. Any ideas where I can get one?
There are long female XLR to male TRRS which is frustrating.
How competent are you with a soldering iron? You could knock one up relatively quickly, alternatively someone in the DIY thread may be able to do one. I suppose as a last resort someone like toxic cables.
Maybe someone like this could do a longer one, assuming they make their stuff.
That website is being blocked for me for some reason. I’m fine with a soldering iron so if it comes to it I’ll end up making my own I guess.
Thanks all
I know this has probably been asked before, but can you guys tell me how the R1 stacks up to the FLC8s? I'm a big fan of Bob's earlier TA work and tunable iems in general. From what I've read, the R1 has more recessed mids than the FLC8s, but I figure most of that can be cleared up by using a different filter setup. But I've also read the R1 has tremendous soundstage and that the filters aren't as subltle in regards to the sound as the TA models were.
@bogginhead Can't comment on the FLC8 but the soundstage of the R1 is phenomenal. I'm wondering if someone described the filter sounds as "less subtle" because you get fewer to choose from. The R1 comes with 5 sets. My I3 came with 10, maybe 12? Myself, I prefer less with more pronounced sound signatures between them. But I understand why some enjoy rolling all those filters. The good news is that if you have any of the old filters they fit the R1 just fine.

Gotcha. I appreciate it, guys. It was never really much of a contest; I'm definitely going for the R1 over the FLC8s now. I just wonder about the mid-range on the R1. I'm not the biggest fan of recessed mids, but I assume one of the R1's filters (or even one of the compatible Icarus III or Master filters) could fix that some at least. It sounds like the detail and texture level on the R1 is amazing.

Good mids, good bass. Overall good resolution. It is a tad too bright for my taste, and the timbre is a bit unnatural, metallic. Has to be good with electronic music; with acoustic instruments and voices, not so great. But all is a matter of taste.
Greetings, I made the pre-order of the R1 ZENITH, I would like to know if anyone knows what type of cable will be sent, and if it will be 2.5 or 3.5, thank you.
