Wow, what a gem of a thread. Thank you for all your efforts @ClieOS !

A quick question — I just got a Qudelix 5K but all my cables are 4.4mm balanced… could anyone suggest any quality/reliable adapters to go from 4.4 to 2.5 which wouldn’t impact SQ? Or is it a bad idea to use an adapter?

The ddHifi ones are great. The SQ won't be impacted. Be careful with cheap (Ali) ones with cables - I've had bad luck with a few that looked good but had internal/wiring issues. Fiio also has a good one with a braided cable.

For a really compacted setup, I'll recommend the 4.4-to-2.5 adapter by ddHiFi. For use with BT adapter however, I tend to prefer a cable style adapter sometime.

I thought the ddHifi adapters measured bad - you measured high output impedance on some of them. Maybe not all or have they improved with new models?

I am talking about this, are we on the same thing? I don't recall measure any of ddHiFi's adapter before.

p/s: Just tried to measure it via my BK Precision BK2712 multimeter, the pins in the adapter are averaging 0.03~0.05 ohm.

Thank you for the recommendation.
Is this the correct adapter (4.4 to 2.5)?

Just want to confirm if it’s recommended and isn’t measured badly, in case you happen to know. @ClieOS

That in your link is the new version with the metal housing. Mine are mostly the original version with transparent housing. I don't see why the new one will be worst or better than the new one as long as the internal is sufficiently similar.

Are 2.5mm cables reliable? I ordered one, didn't know you could buy a 4.4mm to 2.5mm adapter. I didn't have any 4.4mm cables though, just went with 2.5mm.

Treat it with care and I don't see why it won't last. I have been using 2.5mm cable for almost a decade now and none of them fails me.

Thanks. Just arrived today and my Qudelix 5k arrived yesterday even though it was expected by 4th November which is great.

Don't think I'll be getting this one.

Any recommendations for decent cable adapters? I have some of ddhifi's adapters, but it didn't seem like they carried a cable adapter for 4.4 -> 2.5.

They most certainly do.

Do you mean 4.4 M to 2.5 F or 4.4 F to 2.5 M DD makes a really good compact 4.4 M to 2.5 F
For the other, I had Xinhs make me one and they now sell them.
