I hear you and it's a nice idea! Unfortunately we have only this: https://ifi-audio.com/products/headphone-adapter-3-5mm-to-4-4mm/

...while you're after an adapter that would reverse the one we have.

will there be a problem if i use this 3.5mm to 4.4mm adaptor with a 3.5mm trrs plug, those cable with a mic?

I could be wrong, but I don't think a balanced cable where the two channels are actually separate is the same thing as a 3.5mm that has an extra pole for a mic.

I'm pretty sure that you're right, one balanced standard into another also balanced is fine.

actually what I am asking will 3.5mm mic cable (4 poles) work in single ended mode with this 4.4mm adapter without damaging the amp.

No, the pinout wiring is different.

Really? nice to know, I was planning to buy a 3.5 to 4.4 adapter for my Meze, I figured Mic would not work but at least I'd be able to drive them.

that's good, I intend to use the 3.5mm mic cable with ifi 3.5/4.4mm adapter on the dap 4.4mm out

In short, single-ended 3.5mm plugs feature pins L (Left), R (Right) and G (ground) plus one optional for a mic, while balanced 3.5mm plugs have L+, L-, R+ and R-. Although both these plugs might mechanically fit, as per @ColSaulTigh's post their pinouts are different.

Probably dumb question but better safe than sorry. What leads should I use to measure wire resistance on the Aneng AN8008 and what lead resistance should I expect from them?

Unfortunately the meter doesn't have a Rel/Zero/Delta mode option.
Whatever leads you use, you can short them together and deduct the resistance from the measurement. I don't think this is entirely accurate for more than one reason, inconsistent contact pressure being just one of them, but it's probably more accurate than not accounting for the leads at all since "we" are taking pretty low value resistance measurements.

Just received my new XINHS 8 core graphene cable. Was surprised it arrived this quickly ordered on March 11 received on March 20th.
This cable has a nice metal chinstrap instead of the plastic round one. Going let it break in before commenting of sound quality.

It looks dope! Do you have any pic with your IEMs connected?

Hey, guys.

Any spc cable recommendations for HZSound Heart Mirror? I've been leaning on the TRI Through. I just wanna get your thoughts if there are other, better spc cables out there?

Max budget would be 40$. Also, I generally want to keep the tonality & timbre presentation of HM, just improve on it & everything else.

Thanks.

My most recommended cheap cable is Faaeal Hibiscus ($10) with low resistance but that is full copper.
and apparently warmer and treble smoother which not inline with Heart mirror
