I have Etymotic ER4XR IEMs with 3.5mm plug, and have a new to me Schiit stack on the way (Modi 3 & Magni 3+) with 6.3mm jack. Suggestions on a 3.5mm > 6.3mm adapter?

Some quick searching uncovered these:

$31 USD: Furutech F 63-S (R) Rhodium https://www.moon-audio.com/furutech-f-63-s-r-plug-adaptor.html
$30 USD: AudioQuest https://skybygramophone.com/products/audioquest-headphone-plug-adaptor
$25 USD: Furutech F 63-S (G) Gold https://www.moon-audio.com/furutech-f-63-s-g.html
$11 USD: Ugreen https://www.amazon.com/UGREEN-6-35mm-Female-Stereo-Adapter/dp/B01D82XXGO
$10 USD: Sennheiser https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L2SLLIO/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A1O44Z2C3OZAM9&psc=1
$3 USD: Etymotic https://www.etymotic.com/consumer/accessories/er4-new/er38-85.html

Anyone have experience with any of these, or have something else to suggest?

Thanks.

To be pretty honest, its a component that doesn't matter very much, as long as its not incredibly bad, it shouldn't alter your sound quality in any way, shape or form.
On my systems, i use these:

And they work flawlessly, they sound the same as the ones that came with my dac/amp and the screw-on style version that came with my AKGs.

Thanks. That’s what I was assuming.

I’ll stay away from the real cheap stuff. The $10 USD Sennheiser adapter might be a good solution - it has excellent ratings on Amazon (for whatever that’s worth). The fact that I could have it delivered in less than a week (when my DAC/Amp stack is scheduled to arrive), might be the deciding factor!
