never shopped this store but these are supposed to be pure silver. You can choose length and L and straight connectors too. Try this one. Looks like a better deal than the penon silver cable.

while looking for pure silver interconnects I found these too. Might be of some interest to guys using daps with balanced out.

just suggestion on Male to Female Adapter, from which 2.5, 3.5 or 4.4..., Never get a good connection buying these from aliexpress...
Already buy 2 times, having bad connection..
should just buy from known brand, like Fiio, ibasso etc directly... again just suggestion..
The problem always from the female jack...

You might have a good point. There is the risk that these are not perfect. Something this cheap returns are gonna not be realistic. This listing is new and it seems no one has bought these yet. Could be a bit risky.

I posted another thread asking about the risks of using adapters such as those above not long ago. What do you guys think? Is it safe for me to use a 3.5mm female to 2.5mm TRRS adapter with a 2.5mm balanced cable and say, a dap with balanced input? I had read that some adapters (particularly like the one mentioned above) can cause damage to amps or the amp stages of days. I can post a pic of the adapter if needed...

Like assassin said,

There are balanced terminations like 2.5mm trrs, 3.5mm trrs, 4.4mm etc.

And unbalanced like 3.5mm trs

So going from balanced to balanced or from balanced to unbalanced is fine.

But going from unbalanced to any balanced termination is risky and probably can do damage.

For your case, please dont do it... except that 3.5 mm is balanced (which is quite rare)... but if this is just reguler 3.5 mm unbalanced / SE, and your plug to adapter to 2.5mm balanced.. the risk is your own..

I think that I dont like about this adapter 3.5mm SE to 2.5 / 4.4 balanced... why ? the problem is seller still provide this... why this item exist... ???
