glad to be helpful!
Just placed an order for mine, many thanks for the heads up! I've been wanting this one for ages.

To those who can't access the international shop via desktop/computer, try using mobile and clicking on the American flag instead. Worked for me.

I could still order mine (order placed 5 minutes ago) so I guess it's not sold out yet?

Similar, probably sounds a bit different.
Mine probably slightly warmer, more open and transparent.

I am going for both fuller ambient lows and open transparent highs.

Aye, a bit different indeed. I have issues with too much highs, and after blind testing (literally back towards the sales guy, an awesome guy, who attached several effects audio cables on my andromeda and played several tracks with each cable) thor ii was the one I chose, i got more space/dimensionality and balanced output.

Can anyone recommend a sturdy female 4.4 to male 3.5 adaptor for the odd time I want to use my reterminated cables on a lesser source/amp?

The one by Musashino Label is nice, as the female jack is Pentaconn (same as the one inside the Walkman).

It's difficult to find though, I just checked e-earphone's website they don't seem to have any in stock at the moment.

Just found this https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4-4...lgo_pvid=4c723f12-178c-496b-92b5-e8c5fc3eb227 on aliexpress, not much description on it but looks like it. Can someone please take a look and confirm this will indeed work as female 4.4mm to male 3.5mm as I'm also interested in one. All my cables are already terminated for 4.4mm.

Also YY Pro Audio (http://yypa.hk) makes a 4.4mm adaptor, here is mine, the female 4.4 connector is a pentaconn as the Musashino but without the huge housing.

Double Helix makes ultrashort adapters with female 4.4mm connector.

if you are investing in quality cable make sure the adapter is top quality too, even if it's short it still affect the sound.
