I'm posting this to share my positive experience with Koala Audio Cables from Australia. I recently bought the Arya and wanted a 4.4 balanced cable in longer than typical length. Over the years I have tried many cable makers you will know by name, and experienced varied levels of satisfaction. The only one I will mention is Ted's Headphone Lounge, because it was awesome - a balanced cable for my HD800 with a Hirose connector and Hirose-to-single ended adapter, supple and in an unusual color.
I considered Audiophile Ninja, based on reviews and communicating with him on Ebay. But in the end I decided to avoid buying from N.America just because of the shipping hassles right now. (I am in Thailand.)
I first bought one branded 'Earmax' from Aliexpress. I was not that cheap, around $45usd. It has decent connectors and build but it's stiff and generally no fun to use.
I found Koala in Australia, who offer free shipping worldwide. I messaged them via their Facebook page and Kevin was responsive, let me order a color/connector combo not on the menu, and got the cable to me on an island in the South China Sea in 20 days. All in, it was $90aud or $70usd.
Fit and finish are excellent. I recommend them!
