As long as the cable isn’t too expensive it will make some difference but only if your headphones are detailed enough to tell. A super expensive cable makes no sense since headphones don’t cost that much to begin with. Better to spend your money somewhere else. My headphones are around $500 and I can tell a very clear difference in digital cables so an analog cable with that big of a difference in specs should be pretty noticeable.

you can tell a difference in digital signals? really?

you do understand digital signals are literally just binary, 1's and 0's. You aren't going to tell any fucking difference if that 1 is going across a copper wire or silver wire.

Jeez people are so quick to crap on anything related to cables I think it’s hilarious. Remember everyone I’m not spending your money, so calm down! Also, digital signals are passed via analog voltages and they are sampled and passed through to an analog output stage by the DAC so noise in the signal path can and does carry on to the output. Better DACs do a better job at recreating the analog wave and shaping the noise but obviously it isn’t perfect so the less noise on the input, the better. I encourage people to listen, try things, and learn with curiosity. If you don’t want to learn and try, then pick a different hobby. Happy holidays!

Yeah a custom cable won't make any difference for HD600 unless it's a balanced cable that will give you more power. Very revealing headphones like my HD800S or LCD 4 will show sonic differences with different cables.
