Moved Audio Quest cable to my DAC. WOW


I just moved my Audio Quest power cable to my DAC and noticed a more realistic open and better detail. 

I have always been skeptical due to my electrical engineering bbackground.my wife also noticed a better sound. 

The cable never really made any difference on my JC5 amplifier but maybe as someone else pointed out,  power cords make a bigger difference on up front equipment with less sophisticated power supplies. 

Ordered a linear power supply conversion for my streamer.  Will see what that does.

Yup, and digital is just ones and zeros.  It’s amazing how much we don’t truly understand despite how much we think we know, but I applaud you for keeping an open mind and trusting your own ears — many here stubbornly refuse to do this to their detriment.

I have a feeling you’re going to be very positively surprised, but let us know what you find if you could.  Which LPS did you get?

 

@waytoomuchstuff Love the term “intellectual humility.”  I wish more people here would practice that over their intellectual arrogance.  You’re right — we simply don’t know what we don’t know.  This is exactly why most of us simply use and trust our ears.  Not that we’re infallible, but I’ll take our ears over scientific instruments any day and feel sorry for those in this hobby who can’t do that.
