Hi, Thought I share here.
Bought a custom cable from Sky Audio recently for my Dan Clark Audio Aeon 2 Noire.
I had bought a 3m Vivo to replace the standard 1.2 Dummer, but it just wasn’t long enough and was hanging not touching the floor between headphone amp and sofa, dragging on the headphone. The previous 3m cable for a pair of B&W P5 was fine. But Dan Clark Audio don’t take returns on cables.
I looked around, and the Cardas Clear seemed to have good reviews/reports but at a 4m to 5m length are over £1,000 and still only copper wire. The Clear Beyond are over £2,500.
Talking with Reece over Email, he agreed to make me a 5m Dual Mono cable using 8 cores per channel, in Pure Silver cable. I obtained a Cardas headphone jack for the build.
The jacket for the cable is all black with metal dividers to keep the two lengths in check. With the last divider being able to slide.
Great build quality, time to be made and great communication.
The cable burnt in over a couple of weeks of evening/late night use and the touch of sweetness that the Silver brings is just perfect with the DCA, as well as an increased openness over the Vivo.
Driver is presently a Burson Soloist SL.
Feed though a Sim Audio Moon preamp and sources being a Naim NDS with 555DR on digital power and a custom CHC DR3 PSU on the analogue circuits in a Roon based system.
Vinyl is Orbe, SME V, Lyra Skala, Bakoon EQR-11R
Cables are a mixture of Harmonic Technologies, True Signal Audio and JPS Labs.

Potential change to the Headphone Amp……
