Btw i checked penon today and they have C16 in stock ..
Other than that i recieved S16 cable yesterday.
https://penonaudio.com/isn-audio-s16.html
The cable looks dope .. very nice.
I dont know if i will say anything else useful but i will start with a warning, its a BIG FAT CABLE.
it is not a good cable for everyday use out and about at least for me, its big and heavy, also its my first time to get a 16 core cable and i think the last, as one is enough in my life
( if you have like a sweater with a nice pocket it will work fine but forget about small cases u used to carry around )
So usability is not the best unless ur used to such cables, the looks and quality is very nice, its soft, the sound is great, i only tried it with CA atlas, and it certainly needs to be clipped to the shirt after the split, since atlas is heavy and worn straight down, also the cable is heavy, so you feel pulled down all the way, might be different worn over ear since they rest on ears but didnt try it, also compared to the accompanied alo litz cable as a first impression, they sound very close, sometimes i find the alo litz sound abit tighter and controlled but other times they just sound nearly identical according to my ears which is good given the price difference (also comparing cables is pretty annoying, tiring and is bad for the mmcx connector i switched around 4 times and thats my first impression)
Otherwise in comfort and usability the alo litz is miles ahead, it is so small i could just stuff it in my shirt pocket easy in and out without tangling and its great.
I dont have a dmm to measure it, will try to get one.
Also, if anyone thinks of grabbing chi fi iem from ali express, i recommend you check penon first, iam not affiliated with them in anyway, but with iems they have this express shipping option with dhl for like 10$ more, i was never serviced with dhl this cheap, i recieved the stuff in like 3 days, with ali express free shipping its like 2 month for me and dhl rates on ali express like 40 or 50$ for me.
Just a though !
Edited :
2 non major things, touching the part above splitter causes some tiny microphonics that is not apparent while music is playing.
also this is as far as the chin slider can go down as shown in the pics, it won't stick to the splitter, there will always be this little difference, i don't know why i mention this, but anyway
Compared to alo litz size:
