    great video,i know i have come to the party late here but wanted to ask...does the connection to the source matter...i.e...i replced my IEM standard cable which came with my TFZ-T2's for one from amazon but the 3.5mm connection to the source has strated to cut out after a year or so and has to be moved around in the 3.5mm socket to get a decent connection,not sure if this either an issue with the player OPPO HA-2 dac/amp socket or the actual cable connection plug,so am looking to upgrade to find out...is there anything you can advise on when purchasing a cable as to what to look for in the 3.5mm jack connection end which would be better quality to stop this issue

    • @DNTarc
      @DNTarc  Před 3 lety +1

      I'm glad you liked the video!
      In my experience, all 3.5 cables work the same, you might find some with a gold-plated or silver-plated plug, that doesn't make a difference at all.
      Try connecting your cable to another source to see if it's your player or your cable, if it's your cable, I suggest getting a new cable as you might damage your IEM :)

      For some people a 16core cable is a little bit too much haha
      Especially if the IEM is lightweight (like the VK4), in my case, if I use a 16core cable with lightweight IEMs they tend to have a more unstable fit :/

    Hi. I have the Zsn pro which I listen to on my Fiio player and amp. They are really good, great amount of detail. But on many occasions they sound to harsh and bright on certain tracks. Will upgrading to an 8 core or 16 core cable, open up the stage and reduce congestion in general? If yes which would you recommend more 8 or 16. Plus I want upgrade because the stock cable is a tangling night mare.

    • @DNTarc
      @DNTarc  Před 3 lety +4

      In my opinion and experience, a cable won't solve your problem. Cables don't make a huge impact in the sound signature of your IEMs. Maybe you should try using an equalizer.
      Honestly, buy whichever cable you like the most :)

      Hi!
      For the TRN M10 I'd recommend using the stock cable :)
      If you get any 6,8 or 16core cable you will have to get rid of the pre-formed memory earhook since the M10 is not used like an IEM (meaning that it doesn't go over and around your ear).

      Any cable should last you plenty of time!

      Oh!
      Those are the plug types!
      3.5 is the standard plug which you can use for your phone and PC
      2.5 is what is known as a balanced audio plug, it offers cleaner sound but your device needs to have a 2.5mm jack (some HiFi music players and amplifiers have that)
      And I do believe that a 4.4mm is also a balanced, but don't quote me on that, and well,I'd recommend you to stick with 3.5mm until you get more familiar with more complicated audio/connection stuff :)

      Every cable is good, I'd say that the new silver cable is very nice!
      It all depends on your personal preference :)
      If you are happy with the stock cable, there's no need to upgrade unless you want something more heavy-duty feeling (like an 8core or 16core) :D

      In the video description you can find a link for the 16 core cable you see in the video!
      Plus you can select the connector type (2 pin or MMCX), plug type (2.5 Balanced, 4.4 Balanced and 3.5 standard plug) and color (gray, black or brown) :)

      If anyone's reading this comment, no, there's no real difference in sound quality if you buy a higher x-core cable, or bought a silver cable. It's more for the feel and look of the cable, rather than the intrinsic properties. (Did I use that word right? 'intrinsic')
