Can anyone help me find a cable? I've searched high and low through Amazon but there seems to be not a single cable matching all my requirements.
I'd like to have a 1/4''-to-1/8'' cable that is exactly 4 feet long (about 1.2 meters). I'm really concerned about desk space and I've come to conclude that this is the only cable length that fits exactly the length I need to have plenty of space to lean back while not cluttering my desk.
Bonus points if it's rubberized instead of braided because it seems like the X2 is extra sensitive to those microphonics. I can't understand why anyone would want to use the stock cable, however nice it looks.
This one is the only one I found so far, but it doesn't look very high quality. I know what I'm looking for is unorthodox, but can it really be that difficult to find at least one nice alternative? Even ignoring price limits I seem to be left empty-handed.
I purchased my aftermarket cable for X2s from Ghent Audio. My favorite of their cables is the rubberized, flexible, inexpensive, and quite good-sounding D05, shown in link below:

I thought this cable sounded somewhat better than the very microphonic and overly long OEM cable.
The owner, Ghent Zu, is a very helpful fellow & I have no doubt would customize one end to be 1/8th inch/3.5mm; and limit length to 4 feet. Just ask him...he can be reached at ghentxu@ghentaudio.com,
