Upgrading DC Cables for Linear Power Supply


I have bought some Linear Power Supplies as upgrades.

Wondering the options to upgrade the cable from the LPS to component.

There appear a range of options, with some more expensive than the LPS purchase price.

Have bought one DC cable from Ghent Audio for my network switch. Waiting for that to arrive.

Ordering another for M2Tech HiFace Evo supply.

I'm interested in cables that are of reasonable quality above the supplied cables, but not atmospheric in price.

That is exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for. 

Two cables for modem and wifi router.

Three cables for M2Tech Hiface Evo 2/Clock/Supply.

 

And some future upgrades to come as well.

Purchases from China sometimes unsure what I'm getting.

 

I found the supplied cable from Teddy Pardo to be good.

Bought a MiniTeddy to power a Project Stream Box S2 Ultra.

I use Black Ravioli Big Pads under my streamer and LPS.

Have Stack Audio Auva EQ under my Puritan purifier and network switch.

Looking to upgrade the BR Pads to their BR+

I was a sceptic with isolation, at this price. Had tried Vibrapods and sorbothane to little or no discernible effect.

When I got BR Big Pads under my Perreaux amp. Wow, is all I can say.

I would suggest BR Big Pads for your streamer. With my amp, a noticeable step up going from pads to Big Pads.

Big Pads+ for your Dac.

Perhaps the smaller BR Pads for LPS and router. Try an LPS for your router? at some stage as well is a possibility. I ended up with a used FiiO PL50 to good effect (although will swap that with a now redundant Plixir Elite LPS). I've been snapping up used SR Orange fuses for my LPS. A contentious issue, but I see/hear benefit.

I originally bought the Stack Audio Auva 70 under my stands and ATC speakers. They were better than the Isoacoustic Gaia I had.

Had to check my internet cupboard.

Have the FiiO on the modem, and Plixir Elite on the router.

The FiiO used was around NZ$100, while the Plixir was $900?

Before that I had a dual 12v LPS from China, and tried a couple of Teradak LPS. They all ran too hot for an enclosed space.

I subscribe to the notion that small upgrades/improvements are cumulative.

In my situation I stream wirelessly to a wifi extender, then run an Ethernet cable to my switch/streamer. Recent purchase being an LHY AS6 switch before my streamer with SR purple fuse (replacing an Uptone EtherRegen). Old house, and haven’t yet got the Ethernet cable (Blue Jeans) installed under the house. You could try an Ethernet cable from your mesh to your streamer? A possibility?

Have some guys over on The Audio Standard using a Xangsane pure silver Cat8 ethernet cable. Reasonably priced on Aliexpress, and decent result. Worth a try perhaps? Plenty of choice there.

Just saying though @rtilden 

My system has been cobbled together. Certainly not top end, although very happy with the Antipodes K21 and Innuos Phoenix USB. Other than the amp, all have been purchased in the last four years. Plenty of reading, discussion and thought before ordering them. Many items from overseas.

Best advice I've had is from theaudiostandard.net but some from here as well.

Like SNS, I am wary giving advice. However, these are what I have added, and I'm extremely happy with the result.
