Shunyata X series power cords


Has anyone tested the new X series of Shunyata power cords. I currently am using an Alpha v2 on my streamer/dac, but my dealer has told me the new Alpha and Sigma x series are vastly improved.

I tried Alpha X USB cable and while it was very good at detail retrieval and dynamics it is a bit lean and cool for me. I also tried their previous Alpha v2 power cables and observed the same sonic traits. I’d be curious yo hear if their interconnects and speaker cables deviate from the surgical precision and cool tonal balance I heard with the latest USB. 

@gbmcleod interesting. I use Tyr2 XLRs between dac and integrated. I like the sound a lot. But I haven’t heard Shunyata interconnects. 
The Alpha X USB cable that I recently tried took over 200hrs to settle. Keep cooking the new ICs. Looking forward to your thoughts as I can definitely agree with some if your observations about Tyr2. There is no such thing as a perfect cable though….there are always trade offs…
