Has anybody tried using single solid core cables?
If you want to see how good some cheap solid core cable can be, try the new DNM Resolution, which is 1.30mm width, and has a fixed spacer for consistent distance between each leg.As Nonoise said earlier, try wiring the solid core cable direct (esp... 
DAC with ESS Sabre chip, volume, XLR+RCA simult.
Audiobb, yes it has been confirmed by Larry Ho, chief designer at DaVinci Audio, that the Geek Pulse X will output RCA/XLR at the same time.All the Geek Pulse range will have a 128 step digital volume control, operating via a knob on the front, or... 
DAC with ESS Sabre chip, volume, XLR+RCA simult.
The Geek Pulse X does exactly what you ask. It was recently crowd funded for over a million dollars, in case you have been living under a rock ;)There is a secondary campaign to still get in and buy the DAC, but nothing will be delivered until Jun... 
Hidiamond vs Hifidelity interconnects
Honest cable swapping between HFC and other brands is difficult - because the magnetic conduction charges the signal path through your components. So putting in brand X after HFC allows it to benefit from a charged signal path that can takes days ...

Chatnoir, HFC technology makes the best digital cables by far. I would get a BNC adaptor and use the RCA CT-1E cable. 
Wells Innamorata vs CODA 15.5??????????
Those Wells Audio amplifiers has got some mighty rave reports from the crew at Stereotimes.The higher end amp, the Innamorata, uses Bybee music rails to filter the power feeding the input stage, which is where the signal is most delicate in a powe...

I think Rick tried experimenting with some passive magnets on his last VD cables. The VD cables were never sold this way but I presume that's where he got the idea for this new stuff.btw I have had a few cables before from other companies that hav...

The stopgap method for running HFC balanced, is to use a pair of RCA cables, both pointing in the same signal direction, into a Cardas 2xRCA-XLR adaptor for each channel.Its not a normal RCA-XLR adaptor, if that's what some are thinking.It all com...

Did you miss his reply on the 23rd, Audiolabyrinth?This thread is not the place for such a discussion anyway.

Ddraudt, since last year I have had some HFC wave stabilizer modules that I run on the power lines just before the power enters my 6 outlet distribution box.It is amazing, clears up the sound and video on my AV setup. Its one tweak I cannot live w...

Most "Musical" sounding speaker cable under $1000
I should also mention IMO flat copper ribbons are NOT so good for IC's, only for speaker cables. 
Most "Musical" sounding speaker cable under $1000
If you want 'musical' cables the best IMO is copper ribbon cables, where the positive and negative legs are sandwiched together, separated by only a thin layer of double sided sticky Teflon tape.You get a little bit of HF roll off, but in return e...

You see a lot of flavour of the month type cables lines come and go. The reason why HFC is still getting good reviews is because it truly is good.Some may disagree with the technical theory behind what Rick is doing, but at least he has brought so...

I have tried HFC cables in a few systems now. Their strengths are they just let the signal come through with the least distortion and coloration compared to other cables.So keeping this in mind, my experience has been to start upstream at the sour...
