Weiss 501 DAC
With great caution, just set up my new Weiss 501 DAC. Why pray tell with great caution? Because I'm running ATC 40 actives and did not wish to mistakenly cook them by incorrect hookup while using the unit as a DAC and single source preamp/volume control.
Far too soon for evaluation, but not too soon to observe and appreciate the incredibly small footprint of it all. Naim Core server, Weiss 501, Decware power conditioner all sitting on Quadraspire Reference X stand, appropriate cabling, PCs and done. Compact civilized aural pandemonium!

Well, nobody will build a set DPS-4.1 with NFC, listen to them, tear them off and build with regular 50 to prove that point. They both are excellent, just a matter of your dollars and your choice. Called into question is how good the IEC connector on a receiving piece of electronics is. Steve Deckert of Deware makes that point by using only the best on his equipment builds. Quality of solder used is called into question. It is quite endless...and expensive.....and frustrating to chase every detail. My Furutech DSP-4.1 power cables were built with NFC 50 connectors on the recommendation of Chris Romeo the builder after requesting from him a no-holds-barred power cable. They work exceptionally well and I'm done. End of story. I hope that is positive and contributory to your quest. Cheers

@celtic66 thanks for your reply. I wouldn’t expect anyone would do what you describe. But I can think of a few reasonable scenarios that could shed light on my question. I suppose another angle on this is to wonder about the relative contribution of the cable vs. the connectors. But if I move forward on this, I’ll probably go all in anyway. |
