HD 560S and Fiio K3 question from audio noob (alien.top)

Hello everyone, I am very new to the audio world and recently decided to purchase a Fiio K3 for my HD560S headphones. Is the stock 3.5mm headphone cable okay to use in this setup? I noticed some people mentioning a 2.5mm cable. Just wondering if the stock headphones and K3 will be all I need for the setup. Do I need to purchase anything else?

Get the balanced cable. 3.5mm won't drive the 560 with authority, you'll get decent sound but it'll still seem thinner than if you went balanced. You'll appreciate the extra power.
