Incredible Audioquest Firebird Source Power Cables & Thunderbird Interconnects!!!
@kennymacc wow nice! The AQ Hurricane didn’t last long though and I’m not surprised.

I see the issue with ABX blind testing
Super! Should be a decent improvement over the Mogami.  Not difficult to hear. I expect more refined sound especially in mids and treble with better layering in the soundstage. Better texture overall. Mogami is your basic decent cables but they do...

@snilf nice house, nice system(s). I won’t sugar coat this but I find your post very unusual and even more unusual the millercarbon “name dropping”. I see several of your earlier posts and responses so that kind of makes me think you consider your...

@dwcda good approach! As I said earlier, quick AB is not the greatest way to do it. How you’re approaching it is the right way. So what model transparent?

@dwcda so what are you hearing with the transparent cables in your system? Any conclusions?  
Streamer only
@soix I’m going to take a wild guess / make an assumption and say the DDC reclocks the signal before the output if this is your DDC (Hermes).  
Opinions on PS Audio Direct Stream DAC (Mk 1)
You won’t regret it! It’s factory “refreshed”. Mine looks brand new even has plastic protective film on top lid. +1 @krelldog on all points.

TMR will entertain an offer. Their return policy is 30 days on this with small restocking fee. Not much to lose.

So, invite a dozen buddies over to listen to each cable    another invalid use case. And another reason why blind testing doesn’t work in audio. Aside from sound preferences being highly personal so I wouldn’t care what my buddies think is the ... 
Opinions on PS Audio Direct Stream DAC (Mk 1)
@magon i’ve had this DAC for over a month now. Bought it from TMR after I sold my Bricasti M3 as a hold over until I step up to something better. First of all, I don’t agree that this is old technology. The DAC uses FPGA custom programmed by the ...

Aurender n200, talk me out of signing on the dotted line
Oh yeah the Critical Listening Mode is legit. I hate glowing displays to begin with (except for the gentle blue glow of my Pass X260.8 monos all displays are turned off) but hearing a nice improvement when you switch the Aurender into CLM is an ad...
