| Warm relaxed digital coax Is there a reason why you can’t use USB with the dac? Because if you can, there’s a really nice Audience AU24SE+ USB cable on USAM right now. https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650117580-audience-au24-se-dual-wire-usb-one-meter/ | |
| Ethernet cable for music streaming I second @ghdprentice nothing will have as big of an impact as a streamer or a dac upgrade or both. All the tweaks like switches, converters, LPS, filters…that’s pretty much just lipstick on a pig. Waste of time, money and space. | |
| dac recommendations for turntable listener? What are you using as a streamer? Is it just the network card in the dac? If that’s the case it’s not the best. I had a pretty good analog setup - MoFi Ultradeck with Hana ML into Sutherland 20/20 with LPS and it was nice but it didn’t match up t... | |
| dac recommendations for turntable listener? I have the direct stream dac and it sounds exactly the opposite of how you described it. I’m puzzled. But…another dac to consider that’s warm and has body is Bryston BDA-3. Out of curiosity what interconnects and power cables have you tried with t... | |
| Warm relaxed digital coax I have not experienced huge difference between coax cables. So I’m not completely sure you’re on the right track. Cable manufacturers that are known to produce warm sounding cables are: Audience, Audioquest, Acoustic Zen, Cardas, Kubala Sosna ... | |

| Power Cord for Accuphase Amplifier They’ll just have you eat fugu sushi prepared by a trainee. So what’s so special and unique about the stock cord. What gauge is it? My Pass Labs X260.8 mono blocks came with stock cords that are 3x14awg stranded conductors (probably decent qualit... | |
| Need help choosing preamp for streaming If not too late, another recommendation would be Rogue RP1. Great value on a used market and a very nice sounding preamp. You can upgrade it’s performance by rolling some nice tubes in. | |

| New Acquired Sopra 2 Pass Int250, Coda CSiB. Careful with components and cables that are known to be on the brighter side. | |
| Power Cord for Accuphase Amplifier @jfrmusic I have tried power cords and other cables at various price points. Unfortunately I haven’t come across any giant killers yet. As with any component or cables you have to hear it in your system to gauge the degree of improvement if any. S... | |
| Power Cord for Accuphase Amplifier @jfrmusic I recommended Nordost Frey 2 to you in one of your threads. The strengths of Frey 2 are clarity, air, extended but sweet top end and fast articulate bass. These cables bring a degree of musical excitement I have not experienced with othe... | |
| Audience SX2/Front Row Cables...has anyone tried or heard much of this new reference line? What’s the break in period with the FrontRow speaker cables? And what changes in sound can be expected throughout the break in? | |
| Problem: DAC or streamer San Francisco east bay help Make sure the sound output on the laptop is changed to usb. Otherwise it will play thru laptop speakers. You can also try ipad or any tablet or smart phone. If no sound, it’s the dac. End of story. |
