am a new member of the "Meze99" family and wanted to say hello

got mine used for 160euro and I love this can ... its so damn engaging .. I am tapping along, singing along, almost jumping around in the underground when on the go (yes, I use them on the go every day) .. for that money it is unbeatable.
running them of the LG V30, which I use as DAP only (cleaned up android, no background running apps) with UAPP - got the plugin parametric EQ - it´s almost ridiculous how well the driver responds to EQ. I would post some EQ settings but at the moment I am still just fooling around: different genres - different settings -- and yes, the LG v30 drives the Meze99 very well
2 Questions: ( might have been discussed before, but could not find)
- 1) cable:
I like the stock, think its ok, but the microphone bothers me -- and I have another cable (has been posted here before, new fantasia- available at amazon) which has a too big metal! connector, using this on the go plugged in the player is risking damaging the plug of the player -- any experience with replacement cables? with soft or angled connectors?
-2) DAPs
the V30 uses an ESS DAC - so I am wondering which none-ESS DAC players people have tried to pair the Meze with? I think I have just owned too many ESS based systems, ( I mean home HiFi - I am fairly new to headphones), but ESS has a certain signature that I almost start to recognize in any device, whichever model used - so, I am just wondering
