If they can fit a DAC and Phone Stage in the preamp then God Bless them. My phono and DAC have 30 lb. power supplies so getting them in my preamp would be quite a feat. BUT when it comes to cables, they can have an impact on sound, personally I can change the sound of any component with a resistor, cap and AC filter choke additions or changes (anyone can do this) that to me have a greater impact on the sound then any cable I have heard to date. Not saying they don't have an impact, but not as much to my ears.
High end Cables not important for certain electronics?
I am a believer in using higher end cables for my gear. I have bought various types of cables over the years and have kept Audience, AudioQuest, and Virtual Dynamics (plus a few others) long term.
So I was interested to read the following Mola Mola quote when I was looking into the Mola Mola Makua preamp.

Are there other gear people have owned where the designers eschewed higher end cables? I am curious as to what aspect of the design leads to this type of statement.

The Makua is amazingly immune to influences like mains quality and choice of interlinks.

FWIW I did post my question to the "Ask the Experts" forum at PS Audio. A couple of experts (Ted Smith, designer of the Directstream DAC ,and Galen Gareis, longtime Belden cable engineer and designer of Iconoclast Cables) have weighed in. I've learned a lot about balanced wiring variations. No one has yet had an answer to the question about how the BHK preamp is wired. https://forum.psaudio.com/t/how-balanced-is-the-bhk-preamp/11556 |

@viridian Can make fun of his name but not sure you can make fun of his knowledge. This is his new company. https://audiophilestyle.com/ca/bits-and-bytes/purifi-audio-and-the-audiophile-style-readers-qa-with-lars-risbo-bruno-putzeys-r815/ |
