Lumin X1 and Upgraded DC umbilical cord for power supply.

I know this question is so very specific but just wonderin’ if anyone has experimented with aftermarket umbilical cords to be used with their Lumin streamers.

I see that a company called Westminster Labs sell a cord for $$$. And Audio Sensibilities also sells a cord for much less and has my interest.

Has anyone had experience using one of these cords?

Ozzy:

What do you think of the AS umbilical after 150 hours?  I really like my X1 and wonder if it's worthwhile to upgrade from Purple to Master fuse, and replace the stock umbilical with AS or Westminster.

 

Btw, have you consider fiber optic cabling instead of copper ethernet?  It's a significant upgrade (especially for a longer connection from server to the X1).

I'll have to try the Master fuse.  My X1 is sitting on Arya RevOPod footers and sound pretty good.

I've heard mixed reviews about the value of the Westminster DC cable.  The fellow who sold me the X1 said that the Westminster was not a significant upgrade (and he sold it separately).  I guess that it depends on system synergy.
