by the way almost forgot, I also need an adapter, 3.5mm TRRS to 2.5mm TRRS to use with iFi xDSD, any advice for good price/quality ratio ? @Dsnuts I find one from fiio as well, on amazon and ali as well, but many reviewers state that if you move contact is not good and signal breaks

VEClan, build one

Are you talking about a male 3.5trrs to female 2.5mm trrs adapter?

so as far as i "understood" xdsd can output balanced signal via standard 3.5 headphone out, so what I need is connector for regular 2.5 balanced cable to be inserted into 3.5 out ? 3.5mm HP Jack (TRRS balanced compatible)

which storeis it?
If you guys want to maximize your HK6. It cost a bit more but is comepletely worth it. There is a new silver cable on the Cheezy that maximizes the sonics on the HK6. Their included cable is actually a solid 8 core SPC cable and will not limit the sound on the HK6. It is just that with the silver cable. You get an even higher end sounding HK6. Just a tip. If you can do it. Highly recommended.

I was testing out my new adapter yesterday and started listening to my other earphones. SD7s and as much as I liked the SD7s. There is a clear drop off in SQ from the HK6 or even the HQ6. Both these are the next step up from the SD7s and a giant step up from budget stuff we normally look at here. I would take this opportunity when this sale happens to find out for yourselves.

Communication from Jim is a bit spotty as our time difference is literally night and day. I assume it is closing time for him in the mornings for me so it looks like he packed it in for the night. I will get some clarity into how much the "Headfier" Code discount will be by tomorrow so keep tuned.

Again I would assume it will be what the previous sales was but who knows maybe he will do one better. We will see.

Well I have the NiceHCK HK6 in my ears right now on the train listening to Alan Parsons "Eve" and it sounds fantastic. Playing it on a Shanling M1
