Meaning no need to change the cables and always keep the 4.4mm say the IER-Z1R to prevent damage from constant swapping?

Yep

The super adaptors pyramid lol
4.4 to 3.5 then to 6.3 haha

It definitely serves a point. If your iems or headphones are terminated with a 4.4mm Jack then you can now listen to it on any 3.5mm port. That’s the purpose of it. Who cares about balanced or unbalanced? The purpose of this adaptor is just for that.

Yes. It’s by DD Hifi. They sent me a review unit together with TC35i for iPhone. Fantastic build quality and transparent sound. Used to connect your 4.4mm cables to 3.5mm inputs. Perfectly safe and top notch product. In fact I posted a picture of it a few days ago here.

Amazing indeed.

Yes it is single ended but the point of this adapter is to allow you to actually be able to use your phones on all sources that only have 3.5. I use one so that I can use both my 4.4 terminated Z1R from my iPad and iPhone

Yeah, it works, but does the sound improved, more transparent ?

Can someone recommend the adapter? Or adapters to check? Thanks in advance

The sound doesn’t improve neither does it get worse. So it’s fully transparent. I tried it on multiple devices and did a review on it.

Yes indeed. Especially mmcx connectors are prone to malfunction with multiple attach and remove actions. That’s why I never remove cables from my iems.

That is not the point, the point is being able to use a headphone in places where you otherwise couldn’t so I suppose it improves the sound infinately from no sound to sound

Wouldn't transparent be the opposite of snake oil? ie. It makes no difference to sound with or without it.

Absolutely. That’s my interpretation and probably the only correct interpretation of the word “transparent”.
