I added the components, and asked for a quote for the ready made adapter, as usual.
The wire was taken from the 12m wire ordered for the blue cable 171, so I got a 8cm adapter, and around 135cm 8 cores cable (not counting plugs).
This way, the wire was cheaper (20% off when buying >=10m).
Extra fee for manufacturing, and the good discount this manufacturer makes to me, and the result is much more appealing than FiiO cable, for example, for around 1.4x the price.
I've also ordered this kind of adapters using the wire of cable 175. This way I know that the adapter isn't a bottleneck in the chain, and matches perfectly my cables.
Guess the cost of this kind of adapter would be around $35 USD. I've checked at taobao, and any cable adapter using top notch wire (but worse than these UP-OCC wires) and worse jacks, was over $50 USD.

Love that idea. With standard quality cables, it always will be useful, of course. But to get a top notch cable and an adapter made with same materials, so you can be sure that adapter is not affecting SQ... This is great. I think I'll play some lottery and if lucky, will buy one copper set, one SPC and one mixed (copper + SPC). Maybe would try gold plated silver too! To dream is free...

And the tracking hasn't updated at all and been stuck at "in transit". Aliexpress says it will arrive within 7 days but this is the first time it's taken this long and without any updates at all

So I've been checking out a lot of the cables in this thread and am wondering how to figure out the lengths on the aliexpress cables? Not sure I want to go through the headache of custom building one but also am looking for a short cable because I am going to pair it with a bluetooth dongle that I will clip to my shirt. Also, I have Heir Audio 4A's and am not sure if I need the .78mm or .75mm pins. I think their the .78mm but was wondering if anyone could verify this?

I received mine earlier this week. The silver-gold is nice-looking and uses very good quality connectors. I bought them in mmcx 2.5mm and 3.5mm termination. Truly impressive for <$10. Sadly, no chin-slider, will get the NICEHCKs for 11/11 sales. Does the silver plated ones turn green with oxidation?


Here's that KZ 8core cable in action. Only $9.

Also, KZ with their new 8-core at $11.

I ordered their 24k gold cable and the tracking said the same thing as yours, and then just showed up in my mailbox one day out of the blue.
I hope you get yours soon friend!

My next acquisitions are going to be NCM Bella v1, one of that gorgeous 8 cores UPOCC litz cables with adapter (copper) and Toneking Nine Tail. Just need to save some money (Bella is priority). After that, I'd look for a headphone (maybe will try Sony WH-1000XM3 ANC to use on the go, but need to audition it first)! =)

I should mention that they shipped with Epacket, I at least hope I get them and they are not lost.
