Thanks ... most likely I will order the 2p for the DAC in a day or two. Appreciate your advice.

@yyzsantabarbara -- It's definitely worthy trying IMO. Here's the Oratory 1990 EQ settings for your headphones ...https://www.dropbox.com/s/imsf6j4nmp7684v/Meze%20Empyrean.pdf?dl=0I'll definitely contact you when I'm ready for the next DAC. Thanks.

BTW, have you tried using Roon's DSP for your headphones? When I first got the Focal Clear, I really did not like the sound at all. But I set the bands based on rotary 1990's published settings and it made a world of difference.

@yyzsantabarbara Thanks for your detailed response. Once I'm done with upgrading the DAC in my 2 channel rig, I might refocus on my headphone system. I really like the R2R sound, so I might be getting a similar DAC for the headphones too. Although... 
Is the Roon Nuceus device a good streamer?
Although I don't have a Roon Nucleus per se - I use SGC's SonicTransporter i5, I didn't like the sound at all when I connected it directly to my DAC in my headphone rig. The floor noise was much higher, and in general sounded more harsh and fatigu...

@pastorbob -- did you mean to say 2P is safe for any application, or were you referring to 3P? Based on what I read on the website, it looks like 2P is a better choice for DACs, but I'll certainly reach out to the AE.So for Curious Cable, right no...

@yyzsantabarbara IIRC your headphones are Meze Empyrean right? What kind of improvement did you notice with the Wywire cables? I have Hifiman Arya and Focal Clears, not as high end as yours but still considered reasonably good performers. I do won...

Audio Envy seems to offer two PCs - 2p which is ungrounded, and 3p which is grounded. It sounds like 2p is what they are recommending for DACs, but I'm not sure what all that means or if there's risk involved. 
Msb dacs why not alot of postings
Based on all the hoopla and excellent measurements I bought the Topping D90 a few months ago. I really, really, really tried to love the DAC, kept it for almost 2 months, but it just didn't click with me. I sold it to a friend who absolutely loves...

Great advice! I agree that the best path is to get my AMT upgraded first before spending money on ic's and power cords. I'll stay put for the time being.@pastorbob -- I ordered the Curious cable (reg version) and received it yesterday. I'm keeping... 
KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way
@mapman  Very interested in your review. I have Harbeth P3esr's which someone will have to pry out of my cold dead fingers, but I'm tempted to sell my current LS50 wireless and get the new ones (non-wireless).

@audiotroy I personally don't have an issue with you pitching your products here. This is your livelihood so I understand. But if you're going to put a brand down like this, I think it's fair to ask for some proof. Can you share the names of the E...

@jjss49 Thanks for the reply. Actually I was thinking about silver ic's. Since both my DAC and amp are tubes, I wouldn't mind a wee bit of sparkle as long as it doesn't sound harsh or bright. Any thoughts on power cord?My AMT3 is still breaking in...

@audiotroy Do you have any statistics, news, studies, etc. to show that Innuous distributors are dropping Innuous? And why? 
KEF LS50 Meta
I saw Steve Guttenberg's review and he is mighty impressed. In fact, he called it a breakthrough product. I have the KEF LS50 wireless ... so tempted to sell them and get these instead.
