500+ Head-Fier
I cannot find any actual reviews of the FiiO RC-MH1 with the nad hp50 - preferably compared with the stock cable?
I just received this cable through Amazon. Perfect fit for the HP50 and cost is only $7.99 It is a german made cable.
It improved the sound quality dramatically!

Ordered it just now, will deliver in a few days, I'm curious about the difference.
I bought the HP50 headphones about a week ago and they are superb. Every type of music I've listened to sounds fantastic. (I spent a few hours listening at the shop. I went with the intention of buying the PSB M4U 1, but side-by-side, the NAD sounded "wider", i.e., less like the guitar player was sitting in your lap rather than on a chair across the room. They are much lighter too.)
I have no experience with different headphone cables. I would like a cable about 8 or 9 feet long. The ADL (by Furutech) iHP-35 seems ok but I prefer a nylon-covered or braided cable. The price seems ok for a 3 meter ADL cable given the cost of the headphones.
Has anyone tried any of the Audioquest cables (Evergreen or Golden Gate)? I'm not sure why they would be inappropriate.
Thanks!
