Oyaide or Furutech plugs

Hi everybody,

I'm currently thinking about buying a new DIY mains cable.
It will probably go to my headphone amp (Viva Egoista 845) or maybe to my DAC (Weiss Medea+).

I made my choice about the cable itself, I'd like to try the Furutech FP-TCS31.

But I have some hesitation about the plugs, between the recent gold Furutech FI-28/38 (G) and the Oyaide P004/C004 (beryllium/palladium).

I'm looking for some very liquid and smooth sound, with no spike/highlight in the treble or in the high-medium which could sound agressive.

Did some of you try these plugs and could help me to choose by giving me some infos about the differences?

Best regards,
Sylvain

My experience with Furutech locking bananas was so bad I'll never use them again, so my vote is going to be anything BUT Furutech.

Best,

Thank you for your answers.
No problem for me if the plugs are difficult to use, I won't build the cable myself, I'll pay a professional to do so.
Great, I'll go with the FI-28 and FI-38 (G) since they are less expensive than the Oyaide plugs.

Well, actually I now have some hesitation about the cable, between the FP-TCS31 and the older FP-3TS762, which is described as very good for big amplifiers.
Do you have some recommandations/preferences between these two cables? Price does not matter.
I'm searching for the smoothest and creamiest possible cable, with no rise in the high medium or treble and which won't be too thin in the bass department.
