Does anyone know a bang for buck cable that sounds like the Mest Indigo stock cable, or the Rose Maria II stock cable?

The Penon Moonlight cable is awesome. Silver plated Graphene, sounds as good as my 1K$ cable..

How is the character of silver graphene cable? Is it different than silver plated copper?

Yes! It is very smooth, yet vibrant and detailed! Excellent!

Anyone had experience with the XINHS Modular cables? They any good? I want something I can swap/plug and play into any sources for my UM MEST Mk2, I am also looking at the DUNU Modular Cables. XINHS modular cables are about a 3rd the cost of the Dunu's

Have you consider ddhifi adapters?

Have you consider ddhifi adapters?

I have not, I was under the impression you cant do 3.5mm to 2.5mm or 4.4mm?

A 2.5mm/4.4mm balanced cable can be converted to 3.5mm by an adapter to use with an unbalanced source, but not the other way round.

Yes, exactly. I do this with my Schiit stack. A 4.4mm female to 6.4mm male. Single ended source adapted to a balanced cable. But you can NOT do it the other way around. Balanced source needs a balanced cable.

I have the one that goes the other way (male 2.5 to female 4.4) and it’s a winner.

Interesting. Two NiceHCK PurpleSE Imported 8 Strands FURUKAWA Copper Earphone Replace Cable that I ordered from the NiceHCK Audio Store arrived yesterday. I haven't had time to test them yet but they had a pretty good discount with coupon.

Funnily enough they also have https://id.aliexpress.com/item/1005003692081983.html on sale with a coupon. But not quite as good a price as your 2 links above.

Ali 828 sales started yesterday. Like before, many of the best deals do not show up in searches. You need to visit the specific seller to find them.
I think this one is at all time low.

NiceHCK BluePP Taiwan 6N OCC $32,06 @ KR Hifi Audio with $3 Spend & Save
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003107253488.html?

With some additional codes (depending on your country) and coins you can get it even cheaper.

Can anybody recommend the Blue PP cable? It looks like it would be fun to touch. So far I had good experiences with NiceHCK cables.
