Maybe it's just me, but I noticed a lot of IEMs and IEM cables terminate in 4.4mm. Why is that? Why not 3.5mm? I understand balanced etc. etc. but does that really make a difference? I've A/B tested balanced and unbalanced cables and, at least with Chord TT2 and Utopia, it makes no discernible difference in sound.
Just wanted to understand the prevalence of 4.4mm despite the fact that 3.5mm is so much more ubiquitous.
