iFi Cable Series 4.4mm to XLR Balanced Aluminium Alloy Cable (1 metre)

I know it's pricey but quality it is silent and does the job. I used it with my ifi phono took it to another level. I had previously bought the ifi low power adapter and now my vinyl once again surpasses my digital. Highly recommended

As with most iFi Audio products, this 4.4mm balanced cable is very well made. Connecting between an iFi Zen Blue DAC for streaming and Luxman 509X integrated into Spendor speakers, it gives outstanding results with a solid bass, explicit midrange and creamy treble. Enough to question if it's worth spending 1000's on source equipment. Buy with absolute confidence. Update. 27 November 2021. Installed on my newly acquired Zen Phono stage. Big improvement over RCA outlets into my Luxman amp. Don't be put off by poor reviews as you really need to give this a punt if you have balanced inputs on your amp available.

I use the IFI headphone Dac as Dac from my older android phone to a musical fidelity FBP preamplifier upgraded by JS Audio, well it sounded great through the analogue connections, and if you have the IFI Headphone Dac and are using it the same way you'll know what an amazing bargain it is, so to spend £100 on a set of leads to run it into the single ended input my seem a bit of over kill. All I can say is wow!! it has taken my system up another step on the rung to hifi nirvana.... If you have the IFI Headphone dac and a balanced input on your amplifier then this is a bargain upgrade

Another great product from iFi, the cable is high-quality and provides a secure connection between my amplifier and my active speakers.

Absolutely rubbish for the money. It's only a 4 wire cable not 6 wire so you get a ton of hum because this cable doesn't earth your player to your amp (Cayin N6ii E02 to Benchmark HPA4) It looks really decent quality in the box but the truth is far removed. Cables going into both the xlr conectors had loose connections and would crackle and cut out when jiggled about, and did i mention the ridiculously loud mains hum which was intolerable! This cable isn't worth a fiver never mind £99. Don't waste your money, it's rubbish.

arrived broken

Just received this cable and I am disappointed - balanced 4.4mm connector is very poorly attached to the cable - so my left channel is on and off if you move the cable. Something that cannot be tolerated for cable at this price. Perhaps I have defective one but still the quality control should be there. Returning.

Exzellentes Kabel ! Bei mir Verbindung vom Astell@Kern SP 3000 T zu einem SLP Phonitor Kopfhörerverstärker….. Perfekte Verbindung mit ausgezeichnetem Klang….. Leider nur als 1m Version lieferbar. Alternativ einige Zentimeter länger, dann wäre es bei mir perfekt…..

Très très belle qualité de fabrication pour ce câble 4.4.4-XLR qui me sert à connecter un Fiio Q3 aux entrées XLR d'un pré-ampli. Vraiment une très belle finition. J'ai noté une vraie différence de gain et de spacialisation entre un branchement de mon téléphone sur une entrée RCA pour lire un Streaming HD et le chemin Q3-XLR. C'est juste sans commune mesure. Je suis très satisfait de cet achat malgré un prix qui pourrait sembler déraisonnable pour un câble. Mais vraiment, la qualité est au rendez-vous.

I used this cable with my iFi Zen DAC V2 to connect to my preamp which has a balanced XLR input. A balanced connection provides higher noise immunity and overall higher quality analog signal which is critical in high resolution audio. The DAC is capable of 32 bit/384 kHz music. Most of my music is streamed from Tidal which is up to 24 bit/192 kHz. To take advantage of really high resolution audio I think you don't want to scrimp on your cables. This one doesn't - it's a high quality interconnect.

Great seller and fine product! Very well made and sounding balanced interconnects. If you have ifi products with balanced outs please use these!

Utilizzato per collegare il FiiO M17 (tramite l’uscita cuffie 4.4mm Pentaconn) al Topping A70 Pro in full balanced. Nelle cuffie, il suono è strepitoso. Costoso, ma li vale tutti.
