Thank you for the helpful reply. It seems the best course is to try to find an OEM ex1000 cable (if I can) and have it Re-terminated. Would I have to go to Sony or do any third parties you know of sell oem cables? Thanks.

That’s exactly what I did! I bought a stock cable on Ebay (make sure you get the long and not short cable). The long cable is around $80 on eBay. Then I ordered a Pentaconn right angle 4.4 adapter from Japan using an agents. Once I received both, I sent them to Plussound and they reterminate the cable for an extremely reasonable fee and it was done in a week and a half! Workmanship is spot on and now the EX1000 sound a bit tighter when using the balanced output of the ZX300!

Just thought I'd update on this TaoBao adapter that works on the EX1000 !
( I also enquired at e4ua.jp, and it was around USD165 total. So I decided to try the TaoBao one first, as kms108 had reported that they worked on his EX600.)

Found a picture of the brass one.

Just got the brass one, EXK-MMCX. (not the resin one in the picture) It's the more expensive one you get when selecting the 7n option, for CNY366.00 (US$56.00). The adapter is so small, it fits inside the EX1000 socket, and you just see the faceplate/MMCX showing above the collar.

The description on the web site is: copper thread, 4n silver pin(regular) or 7n silver pin optional. The socket (MMCX?) uses 4n sterling silver pins, silver solder.

This adapter fits the EX1000. The right side went in smoothly, the left side had to fiddle with it a bit, and was a little tighter, but went in OK. Am listening to the EXK through a Dita Truth cable, awesome interchangeable plug system, with a 4.4mm plug to the Sony WM1Z. Very nice.

Now that I know they fit, I will order an EXK-CM adapter, and that will allow me to use any of the cables I have, which are either MMCX or CM

Another adapter, that does NOT fit the EX1000:
https://world.taobao.com/item/554630802940.htm?fromSite=main&spm=a21m2.8232368.0.0.14e47277HpbkP3
CNY189.00 (USD29.00) ( Company name Gongsakura )
Got this one also, while a friend was helping me to order from TaoBao. DOES NOT FIT THE EX1000 !!!
These would not fit the EX1000, I tried a small amount of force, and stopped, as was afraid of damaging the EX1000 socket or collar. Might fit the EX800/600, as I believe they take a slightly wider (at the tip) plug. Don't know, though, as I do not have either to try. I may try to file the plug contacts down, as I think they are too thick, which is why they do not go into the EX1000. But no urge at the moment, as I now have a working adapter, which is a better quality than this one. I'll keep it as a reserve.

tried to select the one you bought but nothing happened,

how is yours holding up?

just bought the EX800ST and thought using this adaptor would be a good idea..

Sorry, can't really say, as I have not been using the EX1K steadily with the adapter. I was recently using the EX1K short factory cable with a BT receiver (Fiio BTR3), and have been using my better MMCX cable on other IEMs
