Hi, can anyone recommend me a cheap balance cable for the se846 to use with Pioneer xdp 300r's 2.5 mm 4 pole balanced port?
Thanks.

This would be my top choice (the one that I use with my SE846 is awesome [compatible/works with the B400 as well]) :Hi, can anyone recommend me a cheap balance cable for the se846 to use with Pioneer xdp 300r's 2.5 mm 4 pole balanced port?

Happy Holidays!
Anytime! The price is pretty much the lowest I’ve seen for a balanced cable in my life. Since I normally go through a lot of audio equipment, the Brainwavz Candy Cane balanced cable that I own was utilized more for testing out the B400, SE846, and QP2R. I would say the cables are durable enough. You can purchase a second cable and it still will not be similar to the price of a competing balanced cable! The connectors are 360° rotatable as well.Thanks for the info. The price of the cable is too good to believe. Is the cable durable?
How long you have been using this Brainwavez cable with ur se846?
Are those connectors 360 degree rotatable like the original?

No worries, it’s all good. Most cables won’t get damaged too easily, but can possibly oxidize with extended use. I’d have to try out the other cables that I own to verify their poles/compatibility. I’ll get back to you ASAP.Is it possible to damage the SE846 by using cheap cable (sorry I'm very new to the audiophile world)? The price of the Brainwavz Candy Cane cable seems reasonable to me. But why it's 2.5 mm jack has 3 pole (in photo)? So will it work properly in XDP-300R's "2.5 mm 4 pole balanced port"?
I should've asked this question earlier : I believe you have experienced my headphones and IEMs. Do you feel that using IEM's like SE846 (only 9 ohm) with balanced cable improve sound quality significantly?
Thanks again for your help and sorry for asking too many questions
I hope that I was able to help answer inquiries today.Is it possible to damage the SE846 by using cheap cable (sorry I'm very new to the audiophile world)?

Final tips, SpinFit tips, Westone sample pack, and if nothing works for you, I’d look into custom sleeves like the SCS (Sensaphonics Custom Sleeves). Here is more information regarding the SCS, if you’re interested:Quick update on my situation, I've been trying other tips - most don't work due to issues mentioned earlier. But I've managed to get a good seal using yellow foam tips and the sound signature is much more pleasant - they aren't so freaking loud, highs aren't trying to pierce my brain, the bass is tighter and meatier and they are more spacious. They are painful after a while though (same as triple flanges) and I'm sure I can't use them in the long run... So any suggestions regarding tips?
