Is any 4.4mm 0.78mm 2-pin cable for IEM-s balanced?

[191x7]

As the title says...

 

I bought an Akliam PD4 amp&dac which has a 4.4mm balanced output and I am looking to improve my Truthear Crinacle Zero IEM-s.

 

This is the cable I am looking at:

A 4.4 balanced cable for the HD 560s I already ordered and it's on the way.

In case you haven't bought the cable yet, I think that cable looks good for 3.5mm, I'm just skeptical of AliExpress in general, and them not even having a picture of the 4.4mm cable just puts me off. Also I don't know if you prefer 90 degree connectors or straight ones, but from what I've seen, generally speaking straight connections have better build quality. I bought this 4.4mm Tripowin Cable from Linsoul on amazon:

If you don't have Amazon, Linsoul has worldwide shipping, and although I've never bought anything from them directly, they seem to have a good reputation among the Youtubers. The link should take you to the color I think looks best with the Truthear Crinacle Zero, but I think there's a few other colors that would pair nicely. I know $20 is a far cry from $9, but the cable is probably built better and the seller is more reputable. The only other thing I'd mention is that the cable is thick, but I think that is just a fact of balanced cables in general.

I did order the cable but it took a long time to ship, it will be here maybe next week.

But the PD4 has more than enough power for the Truthear Zero, I no longer have the feel that the sound is weak and lacking like on the Xonar U5, Realtek 1220 or the usb-c to 3.5mm small DAC.

Those are my go to company's for cables.  I tried a few other cables and they were never any good.  For what you get those two companies are very well priced.
