Building a new 2 channel system and need help

I am building a new 2 channel system and recently discovered PS Audio, yes, I am a newb.  Anyway, I am curious as to other members impressions about these amps.  I am considering a pairing with either Raidho, Magico or possibly YG.  I have to admit I am having more difficulty than I anticipated finding something that wows me. I recently listened to a system with an Aestetix amp, CD player and Focal Sopra 2s. I found the sound too bright. They did switch the amp to a VAC integrated and that was better, however still too bright.  I heard the Raidho C1.1s at RMAF and was blown away. I have not heard the Magicos so I am also open to opinions on those.

Thank you in advance

"cables make no difference in a system with a mediocre source."

"Cables can give you that last 0.001% improvement,"


What source do you use?
 
Dollars to doughnuts, you never heard the DS dac in a properly set up system.

If all you can squeeze out in a cable evaluation is a dismal .001% improvement in sound quality... you must be using those cheap-o cables that you mentioned. A quality made cable is a huge improvement in any properly set up audio system.
