| Audience SX2/Front Row Cables...has anyone tried or heard much of this new reference line? Yup. Unbelievably awesome!!!! By far the best my system ever sounded. They managed to improve on already excellent AU24SX with better resolution, more focus and texture, while retaining that natural tone Audience is known for. And to add, there’s ... | |

| Eversolo DMP 8 audition going poorly... Baloo2 - in my experience different streamers sound different with different streaming services. In example, Lumin U1 Mini and Bricasti built in network card sounded best with Roon streaming tidal. Qobuz sounded a bit rolled off and not engaging. ... | |

| Chinese fake cables How fake, how good? deep_333 … But, I also got some Chinese Nordost recently since the price was right. I wouldn’t call it fake...I call it a ’Chinese expression’ (inspired by)...sorta like an artistic expression and it sounds great for the price (punches way about... |
