iem cable

I've been uncomfortable with some of the default cables and am on an adventure to find one that has the color,design and softness I want. (It's not about the sound) However, I don't see many users on ASR using cables made by Aliexpress. What about you? I used to use these plain...

So, my moon drop 3.5 connector was broken i could use 2.5 or 4.4 but since my DAC only have 3.5, my option is - buy the 3.5 to 2.5 adapter, which is i dont know the consequences - buy new cable need advise on this, and some recommendation
