Basic build guide can be found here. Got my parts from Taobao but I'll imagine AliExpress has them as well. Just be careful that the Type-C connecter needs to be 4 pins, OTG and USB2.0 compatible.

Here is something similar for those who don’t want to mess with diy.

My pure silver cable arrived, very impressed especially for the very low price paid. Works great with W2 and my LG V50 ThinQ Korean model.
Will let it burn for a while. The earbuds are EP05.
Will order another 4.4 mm to take advantage of the extra power of W2.

Check out the quality :

What cable is that? I'm looking for a thin light 4.4 balanced mmcx cable. Balanced out is the way to go on the w2, besides more power you get better staging and dynamics.

The single end is good, but the balanced out is as good as any dap I've tried except of course power out and staging.

But I digress. The lightest 4.4 balanced cable I've found is the effect audio virtuoso. But I'd still like to find lighter and thinner. The problem I have is my ears are so sensitive the weight or thickness of the cable pulling on the iems can cause discomfort.

Smaller mmcx connectors would be a plus also. Maybe I need to contact a cable builder?

But that does look like a very nice cable.

Well, the Linum BAX and SuperBAX are the thinnest and lightest cables I'm aware of. Expensive though.

Those look awesome but with the exchange rate it's like 324 dollars for 4.4 balanced. Like you said expensive 😉

Actually the cable that came with my rose mini 3 is super light and comfy if only it was 4.4 balanced. It's one of my favorite cables- flexible and very light and non microphonic. Anyone know any good cable makers that could put a 4.4 end on it. Sorry ot.

Yeah, I have the older balanced 2.5 mm BAX, which is cheaper (72.50 euro). It's scary light and thin, but has held up just fine. I'd love the 4.4 SuperBax, but too many $$$.

Mind sharing where you got the cable from? So far the only low price pure silver cable I found is the Fiios cable but it doesn't come in 2pins flavor.
