The fiio k7 seems to be perfect with the 109 pro even if the output of the k7 is natural if i read right.
What i wonder how much a tube anp might affect the sound i dream on owning one

recently pair 109 with ak se300 .. its a really good match .. r2r smoothness tame the slightly high treble on 109

I agree. HiBy's RS8 R-2R smoothness and analog tonality is a great pairing with 109 Pro in addition to Cayin's latest N30LE anniversary limited edition DAP with dual tubes and triple timbre. N30LE's Tube Classic mode has that colored tube warmth, fullness with R-2R tonality yet still highly resolving.

Why the question marks?

My #070 is traveling back to Cayin and have a new rebiased/replacement unit arriving this week which will have a different serial number.

Recommend an XLR cable I can get in the US easily? $200 or less?

After 50 hours or so of listening, I can really say that the peak of high frequencies has calmed down a lot but without loss of detail. I really didn’t care too much about this peak, it was an interesting and intense sound, but now it’s more easy to listen and natural.

I have DAP and two dongles with 4.4mm balanced out. All my earphones and headphones are using 4.4mm balanced cables (from Meze).

Therefore I use a 4-pin XLR to 4.4mm balanced adapter on my HiFi M8. This may be a more useful purchase.

Fog City Audio sells XLR cables. I got a 4-pin CLR extension cable from him and like it.

I also second the 4.4mm to 4-pin XLR adapter solution. I have one on my Schiit Jotunheim 2 at work which allows me to wear any headphones on my walk commute and quickly unplug from a portable DAC/DAP and plug into my work desk stack.

FiiO LX-4.4 adapter should work just fine

Out of curiosity, anything you want to improve from the sound or comfort of the original pads? For me it's perfect the way they are.

Sure for me too, but it would be nice having a second pair of pads and some wirh leather for a bass boost

Just put my 109's back on today. This will be their second run through with me. I liked them the first time, but wasn't blown away. Curious to see my reaction this time.
Starting off with the new Crosses album through a Violectric V220.
