Bel Canto C5i

Any C5i owners care to share:

1. are you using a line conditioner-how does it impact the sound?

2. are you passing hi-res files-what's the best way you've found?

3. are you using something other than a Stock AC cable? If so, are you running it directly into the wall?

4. Have you tried using the pre-outs to run it with a different amp?

Any and all feedback if welcome. I bought this unit and it's been the single most enjoyable audio purchase I've ever made .

Thanks, Mapman.

I stepped-up to Bel Canto separates from the c5i, but still think the c5i is a fantastic product. The ref500s + DAC 2.5 combo that I'm using, might have a little nicer extension and some detail here and there, but the value of the c5i in comparison is undeniable.

Dollar for dollar, this company just makes great gear.
