Today I received and connected ALO BlingBling in my 4G iPod.
Boy!!!! the sound improvement is noticeable. I'm going to take more time to compare this afternoon when I get home.

Until today, I was skeptical about cable upgrade... but this is starting to change my view.

Upgrading my HD650's cable to either Zu or Cardas will offer a bigger SQ improvement than that from DLO?

I need your opinion.

With the HD650's, I much prefer the RAL Cryo-Silver cable, or any silver cable to any of the copper cables. The Zu would probably be 4th on my list, after several silver cables. The HD650's need to be much brighter - the silver cables help achieve that. The Cardas is great with the HD600/580's, not so much with the HD650's.

However, you're talking ~10% improvement - not a "night and day" improvement. The DAC/CDP and amp selection make a much more dramatic improvement. The cable is the "icing on the cake."
