my wish has been granted!
8 cores cable of taiwan frozen up-occ copper litz, now available at electro acousti in aliexpress.
straight mmcx/2pins plugs, quite better quality jack, splitter, chin slider than any other in my stock (except cable 190).
28awg 8 cores, resistance per signal of the cable will be around 130mOhms (~25awg). superb.
couldn't resist it.. ordered one. cable
171. i'll add measurements and build & sound impressions when it arrives.

taiwan frozen 7n up-occ copper litz (independent shield/enamel of every thread in each core); "frozen and strengthened by American cryo parts".
eagle true rhodium plated jack, sandal wood divider and wood chin slider; superb quality plugs, there is a big difference between these components (jack, divider, slider), and those used in any other chi-cable from my list; the jack costs over $14, while others jack cost is $2-3.
strain relief is a bit stiff (soft heat-shrink); this could be improved.
mmcx and 2pins terminations, 2.5, 3.5, 4.4mm jacks, available.
flexible wire, but not much; guess it's due to the sleeve. some microphonics, then, although i don't notice them when music is playing.
sound is very clean, reference. darker background, deeper soundstage; definition is so great, that i get the best separation and imaging perception.
litz shielding can give even darker background than wire used in cable 165 (no litz); this is confirmed after first listening, but difference is subtle (as usual with cables).
my wish of an 8 cores version cable of this wire has been granted! this could be my favorite, atm
