Today’s portable set up. Pono Player balanced out to Kumitate Lab Trio. I forget how good the Pono sounds via balanced out. An oldie, but goodie.

Dear Podster,

Thank you for your post. Would you mind sharing what tips those are? I haven't had munch success tip rolling and yours look like they might be the sort of size I'm after.

Kind regards,

Krizit.

I have that adapter also; you must be going 4.4mm to 2.2mm?

2,2? I must confess I never heard of that? As far as I know it is 2,5? It’s the Linum Bax Balanced! Or was 2,2 just a typo?

Yes.......2.5mm sorry! I’m still waiting to ever get a 2.5mm cable to try that one.

Are you still searching for your sound ?
No, I settle with all of them now, hope not getting any other DAP this year.

With the new normal of lockdown and working from home, I have more chance to listen to my favorite songs and I enjoy all of the gears equally.:relaxed:

You never owned a 2,5 cable? Me, on the other side I just ordered my first „native“ 4,2 mm cable! 😅 Until now I have only owned 2,5 and used my adapters 👍 Do you also own the Mee cable/adapter set? Actually I bought it only for the adapters and sold the cable afterwards ☺️

I’ve never had a 2.5mm cable accept included with the Mee adapter set, same as you. But.....this year has been an interesting one, as I’ve learned some IEMs sound better with the 3.5mm amp in the Walkmans. The Walkmans hold two separated amps. The amps have different parts and sound characteristics. So after hearing improvements with 4.4mm balanced, it was just human nature to expect every IEM to get better with 4.4mm. So in hindsight it turns out that the 4.4mm amp has a slight different sound which is not only more power but slightly aggressive! With all BA IEMs which are easy to power, all the power needed for a 14mm DD....simply is not needed. In fact some all BA IEMs sound better being smoother in low power 3.5mm. :)

Edit:
Yes, that was cool for you to sell that cable, I don’t really like mine either. Probably would not care if I sold mine. It’s from the days when 4.4mm was few and far between; like 2017-2018. Now nice 4.4mm cables are everywhere!
