Hi Hakuzen!
Thanks for your comparison for 175 and 174!
i really am not sure if it is to less bass with 174!
Still the P1s need some burning in and on a Hiby R3 i dondt have a real good source. With the E1DA PowerDACv2 and 9038s i will have the cleanist balanced source for my comparisons (stuff should be here at the end of next week)
--so with "Due to the neutral or bright character of most of my phones, I mixed it with copper (cable 175), to get some sub-bass rumble when listening to EDM." You actually nailed it!
Well but Jazz Vocals and classic Sound is really amazing .. but missing a slight rumble.. actually i can EQ this but i would brefer a solid base its the same with Photos.. If the lightning is good than you dondt have to tweek the hell out of a sub optimal source (thats my job actually with 3D Visualisation Stuff)
whats also very enlitghning is your description of balanced and unbalanced.
Since what i understand now if the plug on the cable has a balanced plug than the internal cabling is different than with an unbalanced because of the different way the left and right chanel is used for the signals..
i would really be happy if you can confirm my thoughts i got from this thread, because y goal is to have customizable maximum quality cables for my gear:
-Ok so with my balanced cable 175 i get balanced in + out .. so is it then ok if i put mmcx to 3,5mm adapters on the two outputs.. can i use the cable with my hifiman sundaras?
-i guess putting an 3,5mm to 2,5mm balanced adapter at the input will not work because the cable gets unbalaced input and the unbalanced plug will transmit unbalanced
over the wire.. so the plug cant change the signalsfrom the input
-Ooookk so when my Source DAC is 2,5mm balanced.. can i use adapters for example on a good cable with 3,5mm unbalanced? i got a sick Cardas Cable together with the Sundaras soon but it has 3,5mm unbalanced input .. i can use this on my JDS Labs Atom but my goal is to use the E1DA Dacs because they are much better and have app controlled EQ (well the Powerdacv2 has this feature)
Best regards, Daniel!
