Hey guys I have a Rhapsodio Silver Litz 8-strand cable for sale, with 3.5 trrs plug terminated for Hifiman/Plenue S/ZX2 and 2-pin connectors.
 
It is a high resolution cable with black background and cold mid-bass presentation which gives it excellent separation.It does have some microphonics; I'm personally never bothered by it because I do listening on the go, but it can be annoying if you're listening at a desk.
 
Retails at $600. Looking for 300 euro plus fees.
 
Please PM if interested. I will check if there is any interest at the end of the week, if not I'll have it reterminated to trs and put it up for sale.

Aren't the 'grounds' on the top ring and sleeve with the ZX2?
 
In which case this can be used on a TRS connection as it is - no need to reterminate.

I would move this to the for sale forum so the Moderators don't get involved.  Good luck with the sale.

I just wanted to bring it quickly under attention for the relevant public, if not I'll send it out at the end of the week to be reterminated and then put up a classified.
 
Hope it wasn't a bother.

You need adapter, the right kind that can work with it, but all in all, it is better to reterminate if you don't have any uses for the TRRS ? Hope it makes senses

It does ...
 
I was thinking that if you insert the TRRS plug into a TRS jack the common ground will connect to both the upper ring and sleeve giving the right connection. But of course that depends on the configuration of the jack as to whether the internal contact interfaces with both sections - it may or may not work.

If you trrs is not configured as hifiman or sony its not goung to work without an adapter as your ring and sleve for left and right are not correct and in turn if you plug it in you will wither get one channel of sound or no sound at all not to mention the possibility of burning up the amp section of your sony!

I found (to my regret) that the TRRS cable I have on my K10 does not work with the Chord Hugo, only get sound out of the left earphone. This is definitely due to the configuration of the jack, but I'm not knowledgeable enough in such things to understand exactly why. Just that it's not so straightforward when you try to use ZX2-compatible TRRS with TRS.
 
Anyone actually able to use their ZX2 TRRS cables successfully with any TRS-only equipment? I'd be interested to know what just works by default

Which TRRS cable would you guys recommend for 1964 Ears Adel A12 CIEM (neutral / warmish) and ZX2?

dx80 takes my TRRS silver cable , without any problem
 
i also have 2 Hifiman TRRS>TRS convertors from previous trrs iems i had bought , so i can use my trrs cable everywhere as a trs mode

Just a heads up: My TRRS Silver Dragon IEM Headphone Cable V1 by Moon Audio seems to have cost me the connector on my UERM. The stock cable had a protective sleeve that went around the connector to add strength. After about 20 usages I appear to have snapped the whole connector off of my left CIEM. 
Maybe I was a little rough, using the cable to remove the CIEM, but I'm sure they wouldn't have broken if I'd left the stock cable on.

Hello,

I ended up purchasing EU zx2 from HEAD-FI sale and trade section without knowing about the volume cap..and I cannot cancel it. I wonder if EU ZX2 is capable of driving my Grado PS500 and Fostex THX00. Also, is there any app to increase zx2 max volume?

It might do OK with those 2 phones. My EU unit does fine with Ultrasone Signature Pro and could make even HE-500 enjoyable enough though not ideal
