@audphile1 Yes!!! The upgrade from AQ Hurricane HC to AQ Firebird Source, on my DAC, was quite a revelation. I still have one AQ Hurricane HC cable in my system, which is plugged in from the wall outlet to my AQ Niagara 3000 power conditioner, and that seems to be the perfect PC for that application in my audio system. Happy listening.
Incredible Audioquest Firebird Source Power Cables & Thunderbird Interconnects!!!
I recently upgraded the power cable that I was using on my DAC from an Audioquest Hurricane High Current power cable to an Audioquest Firebird Source Power Cable. I also upgraded my interconnects from Audioquest Pegasus XLR to Audioquest Thunderbird XLR. Both the Thunderbird and the Firebird were purchased brand new and were installed in my system simultaneously. Both cables are also still in the burn-in process. At this point, all I can tell you is this. As wonderful as my audio system sounded prior to the upgrades, practically right out of the box, the upgraded cables have elevated the sound quality of my audio system to a whole new level. So far, I'm absolutely blown-away by both the world-class sounding Firebird and Thunderbird cables!!! If the new cables sound this amazing with less than 50 hours on them, I can only imagine how much more magnificent they will sound once fully broken-in. I think I'm finally done with my cable upgrades. Happy listening.
