Excelent , i can't praise more this cable best diffrerence change ever just because a well built cable

Thus cable is not only soft and easy to manage, but there was a slight increase in warmth that I don’t think, was attributed to the balanced configuration from my fiio qi5. Build quality is par excellent. For $50 it’s a no brainer. Highly recommend. I used this cable on mu Aune AR 5000 headphones.

Cables rarely get applause, but if they did, the Aune AR3 would get a standing ovation for quietly doing its job with style.

Wrong plug on the end that goes to your amp/preamp or whatever you're using. You wind up having to purchase an adapter to go from 4.4 to 3.5mm.

I've had a silver plated balanced cable from another brand for my Aune AR5000, but as AR5000 are low impedance you can actually feel the difference between silver and copper, with copper being a bit warmer due higher resistance and that's just what I wanted. On top of that, the cable is very light and thin, much more than it seems on the photos, you just can't feel it at all and that's a huge upgrade both from the stock cable and the other one with balanced plug that I had.

This cable seems to be made well, flexible but not flimsy, solid connectors, and the cable lays wells with no memory.
