I want to reterminate a 1/4th plug to a 3.5mm 1/8th mini. Will the sound quality be any less?
In terms of durability, would it be better to terminate my headphone's cable with a 1/4 jack and use a 3.5mm adaptor cable. That way I can just have the adaptor's 3.5mm coating wear away as I plug/unplug everyday?
How significant is that coating wearing out, if I just terminate with a 3.5mm end?
Not unless the amp has two outputs, one for 1/4" and one for 1/8", and they have different impedance. (I've heard that's true of the FiiO E9, can anyone confirm or deny?)
