Thanks!
Duties are high but final price still under 400$.
Not bad!
Any regrets?

 

[cheeno50]

no regrets. I'd recommend the express shipping. I think it was only 5-10 dollars more for me shipping to toronto

Looking to replace the stock X2 cable with a shorter cable (1m) to use with an external DAC - any recommendations?

V-moda is good and cheap but might be longer than you need at 1.75m

People keep blindly suggesting the Vmoda, while its been known to vary on its resistance, sometimes approaching the X1 cable's high resistance.

I would suggest something known to be consistently low resistance, like the Media bridge cables.

i have the v-moda so i am not blindly recommending it, but thanks for your insight.  I have had no issues with mine.

Simply saying that while some have good vmoda cabkes, there have also been vmoda cables with a really high impedance, like the stock X1 cable, which defeats the very reason people are replacing the cable. This is why i say to go with cables known to not vary like the vmoda cables.

No issues here either.

I'd recommend L2 cable myself.

I've been using the Nuforce 1.5M black 3.5mm/1/8 cable. Flexible, durable and quite pretty IMO.
Not the cheapest, but they're pretty good - https://www.nuforce.com/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=42:transient-cables&Itemid=1163
I would not recommend their USB cable, however.

I personally recommend KabelDirekt. It's very much like Media Bridge cables, except the rubber shielding doesn't get scrape as easily.

Have you guys used a multimeter to test resistance?

I can actually confirm that I have. I'll take a pic maybe sometime this week when I go back to my lab shop and do some electrical work. 

 

[TooPoorForHiFi]

and....... whats wrong w/ the Stock cable again?
 
BTW, Where can I buy those NuForce Cables, Can't seem to fine them.
