Good stuff. Where do you get your cables from? They look like mine
RCAs = Ghent Audio. Pretty sure they were their second cheapest but they're solid and only about a tenner each.
XLR interconnects = NoBull XLRs. Proper solid. I assume they're more pro-oriented but for the price they've always suited me. Their XLRs are metal and built to last.
XLR headphone cables (Audeze and Sennheiser) = Custom Cans (UK). They seem fine and the thread is excellent quality but for £90 each I'd have liked a toggle at the split and metal connections. Plus they took 3 weeks to send them 30 miles. I bought, returned and had replaced an amp from China in the time I was waiting for a cable to be sent to me. Geshelli have easily had the best service of any of my headphone purchases in contrast.
USB = Chord Silver. £50. Obviously I bought that before I discovered this site. It's fine but I have a very short Fisual cable which was £10 and sounds no worse at all.
That little Shure mic must have a decent DAC and headphone amp because the HD598's sound great on video calls and general internet use. Plus they're very light and great with talk/classical radio or listening to the football or cricket for long periods of time.
