Its not a special cable. Its literally your normal everyday 3.5mm to 3.5mm IC. If you look at your ibasso cable, the rught side is a TS 3.5mm jack. The one iBasso offers is a cable with two TS.
Theyre same size is the reason why they fit. Im just not sure if itll short anything... Which i dont think it will
Also a question for those that know more about EE or stuff like that than I do. I like the DAC section of the D14 better than the DX90, so I would like to connect the D14 and DX90 via SPDIF, so I can use the DAC of the D14, rather than use the line out of the DX90 and use just the amp of the D14. The SPDIF cable that iBasso provides is bulky as hell. The connectors are the same size as your average 3.5mm jack, except theyre TS rather than TRS. If you use TRS and connect the two via SPDIF, it works and fits, but is there any sort of problems that might occur?
Can you please provide a picture of this coaxial TRS to TRS coaxial cable? I own a custom coaxial cable to connect my DX50 with my micro iDSD and the DIY guy from which I got this cable, used an TRS plug instead of the TS plug which is used by default from iBasso. I have zero issues with this TRS plug on the coaxial connection since months.

thanks fo the reply, a coaxial cable has always an impedance of 75 ohms. My custom coaxial cable has also special coaxial 75 ohms impedance plugs, that it support to transport the digital signal.
The short 3.5mm to 3.5mm is only an analogue cable, normally this analogue 3.5m IC you got doesn't work if you connect this cable to the DX90 and the D14 on both coaxial outputs. It would really wonder about that if that would work, because it's no coaxial cable with 75 ohms impedance. My DIY cable guy did a deep research that I got this kind of very short coaxial cable. So currently you need to use that bulky TS to TS iBasso cable if you want to use the DAC from the D14, but I'm pretty sure like my custom coaxial cable you can get a short flexible coaxial cable, like my example but only with two TRS plugs instead of one TRS and one RCA.
Ya i was reading up and did see that theyre generally 75ohms. However the normal IC works with no problem and i dont hear any difference in sound. Which is why the only thing im not sure of is if im shorting or overloading anything unknowingly lol.
Im using it to connect coaxial out of DX90 with spdif in of D14

Yes, coax digital cables are 75ohm and better shielded. You will only run into problems with long distances in reference to dropouts using an analog cable in spdif applications. Have you tried both cables (the ibasso one (coax) and the jds labs IC (analog)? Any sound differences or dropouts?
