QUOTE(blacklizard90 @ May 10 2013, 09:27 PM) Yup, i guess its the same. Cable is jaben is freaking expensive.. You can find that cable at jalan pasar for around RM10.. I bought mine from jalan pasar for RM7 they gave me that as free gift for showing them some tips and tricks and it was working on the spot but after few months conked out...after the first month to be exact hahaha

QUOTE(blacklizard90 @ May 11 2013, 12:35 PM) 2 cores, but if you already have canare cable for your superflux, don't bother to recable it, for me no noticeable difference in audio or the sound signature  Made this for a customer.. [attachmentid=3432804] took out the canare on my superlux and moved it to my MS1i so looking for a replacement

I also would stay away from EQ its like not listening to my "headphones"
Believe it or not I used my old grado cable on my superlux 668b it isnt half bad, brings out the mids I feel, but really smooth and maybe a little fatiguing if for long periods. How to better explain it...the mids have some sibilance now but of course with EQ I can make it not as bad.
next week heading to jalan pasar to buy a few metre's of different audio cables to test out each of their sound let me know if anyone needs me to buy anything

QUOTE(malutapimau @ May 29 2013, 11:53 AM) Any cable that has 3-4 cores I'm going to try I'm also thinking of mixing the cables together. Full out mix and match. That looks like cable made from foil paper also anyone know any good RCA plugs? it seems my rean/neutrik RCA tips are actually quite thick compared to other tips. cant fit into my little dot EDITED: apparently my goldsnake RCA could fit because the center tip is slightly smaller in diameter so i switched it about xD and now it fits wheeeeee This post has been edited by siles1991: May 30 2013, 12:49 AM

so far i've only used canare cables but if you can go jalan pasar and find any cheaper cables also can as long as it has 4 cores. For me i'd use 4 cores for dual entry headphones.
I might go jalan pasar next week for some cable shopping so let me know unless your in a rush.

QUOTE(more2teayap @ Jun 3 2013, 01:02 PM) it doesn't feels like teflon, some kind of very soft pvc. I feel like I'm getting noise from my USB ports out of nowhere there will be a loud hum according volume which fades in and out. And during the hum there will be loud distorted beeps. Getting a ferrite clamp if it doesn't work might build a new cable for my odac. Any suggestions? This post has been edited by siles1991: Jun 3 2013, 10:55 PM

QUOTE(more2teayap @ Jun 4 2013, 05:04 AM) Try it on the second desktop/laptop, humming might be ground problem, ferrite might not work, but worth to try. beeps on DAC normally is driver problem. Correct me if i'm wrong. i also think it might be ground proble but not sure how to fix that haha. its not driver problem because this happened on my E10 and also once I changed to ODAc also it happened so I think it might be USB problem

QUOTE(more2teayap @ Jun 4 2013, 01:16 PM) try it on other computer to make sure  Alright will try. Also any recommendation for making a power cable. Mine is pretty old and afraid that the inners are corroded or oxidized. Using 10+ year cable from generic PC psu to power my amp.

QUOTE(more2teayap @ Jun 4 2013, 05:04 PM) actually it does makes difference, if the transferred current is not clean, then it affects the performance of an amp, do try it out in hifi shops.  i want find like belden 19364 or 83083 but cant find it anywhere online and need buy by roll. do you think jalan pasar has the 19364?
