Opinions

Very interesting! I think I'll play a bit over the long weekend.

Transparent Audio Super mm2 XLR on one end to Transparent  Audio Referance mm2 which is a couple product lines higher in the TA line.

I have Transparent Premium cords on preamp, power amp, Bluesound Vault, DAC and Equi-1800 power Conditioner along with hospital grade 20A receptacles and a dedicated circuit.

All of my cables are now Transpareny Audio. They are more on the lower end if the scale using the Super MM2 technology and Ultra XL. All cables are balanced (xlr). Speaker cables are TA Super MM2 as well. The power cords are TA Premium. As for replacing the DAC, I'm not sure if I doubled the cost of the Codex on a different DAC, I could possibly equal it but not sure if would beat it. At that point, where does it end? I recently upgraded cables to the Super and Ultras and I noticed huge differences in sound quality. That was why I was kicking around upgrading once again to TA Referance balanced but I could only do one pair at this time. That's why I'm looking for opinions on the best placement of the TA Referance along with one set of my existing cables in the system.

Thanks Steve, I'm going to try your suggestions this weekend and you have a good weekend as well!!
