Get this cable - https://hartaudiocables.com/collections/sennheiser/products/hc-13-dual-lemo-push-pull-utopia-balanced-headphone-cable And you can choose the interconnect you want.. Interconnects - https://hartaudiocables.com/collections/interconnects It's the most versatile cable as you can swap the interconnect to any termination you want without having to rebuy a whole new cable. If you need a longer cable you will have to try to get one during the days they have custom cable sales open (2-3 times a week at various times). 3
