Thank you for confirming that it plays well with sp2k directly.Another vote for the Effect Audio A&K 4.4mm adapter. It is perhaps the best one available on the market. I haven't heard the PWA one.
The bird sounds fantastic out of the SP2000. Whether you choose to add the C9 is a personal thing. It does 'colour' the sound and expand the soundstage. I'm generally content enough not to.
I wouldn't advise terminating an expensive cable to 2.5mm unless you really want to. 4.4mm is fast becoming the new (and long stay) standard. And many DAP's now include the 4.4mm. You'll be far better future-proofing having 4.4 and spending the money on an adapter, which may be cheaper than reworking a PWA cable.
