| Shunyata interconnect cables experience @gbmcleod how many hours now? | |
| Using fibre optics to break ground level noise I recommend at least a 3 mile run of fiber. It’s pretty thin and you can easily store it in a corner or a closet where your router is, coiled up (no issues there as it’s not an analog cable to be impacted by emi. You can also wrap it around the ne... | |
| Integrated amp for tube lover We all have different preferences @hedwigstheme and how we feel depends on our preferences. Some like natural timbre and super detailed analytical presentation, some like natural timbre and warmer presentation that doesn’t emphasize or etch out th... | |
| Wireworld Platinum Starlight® 10 Twinax and AQ Diamond Thanks. The model I’m inquiring about is their TOL Platinum 10 that uses silver conductors. DH Labs is a budget cable not a fit in this system - I have experience with with their Mirage USB as well as AES and SPDIF coax cables. They’re ok if that... | |
| Help Needed - Popping sound when powering on a new setup! @gdaddy1 +1 but I would add that I would power on DAC first so that when you power up the streamer it sees it. DAC and streamer can be kept on 24/7 just turn off display on streamer if it has one. From there power on your preamp then amp. power ... | |
| Shunyata X series power cords @gbmcleod interesting. I use Tyr2 XLRs between dac and integrated. I like the sound a lot. But I haven’t heard Shunyata interconnects. The Alpha X USB cable that I recently tried took over 200hrs to settle. Keep cooking the new ICs. Looking forwa... | |
| Advice on a good Digital Coax Cable to run between my Transport and DAC? I posted this before but not sure what happened to it… @chiefsteward1 if you like D60 try AGDL but get it in the AES configuration. It may be better using AES and AGDL is supposed to be a better cable than D60 | |
| Advice on a good Digital Coax Cable to run between my Transport and DAC? USB and coax are not the same. The OP is specifically asking about a coax digital cable. | |
| Shunyata X series power cords I tried Alpha X USB cable and while it was very good at detail retrieval and dynamics it is a bit lean and cool for me. I also tried their previous Alpha v2 power cables and observed the same sonic traits. I’d be curious yo hear if their interconn... | |
| Advice on a good Digital Coax Cable to run between my Transport and DAC? I’d also recommend looking into a DAC upgrade. That’s a sweet transport. Needs a dac on the same level. | |
| Advice on a good Digital Coax Cable to run between my Transport and DAC? Jays Audio transports have excellent clocks. You’re most likely creating a bottleneck with the Wyred4Sound Remedy box. All you need is a good digital cable between Jays and the dac. Try Audience, Audioquest or Acoustic Zen MC2 | |
| which power cable and USB cable for my Innous Zenith Mk3? @audiocanada missing few data points what DAC are you using what type of sound are you trying to achieve Are you looking for a more open sound or trying to get a warmer presentation? | |
| Meitner MA3i DAC Review @buzz it looks similar to my linkup cable https://a.co/d/eTGIjAy Good cable for sure but Purist beats it. | |
| Meitner MA3i DAC Review Also, I run the MA3i into Boulder 866 integrated amp. Volume control is bypassed on the Meitner by setting it to 100. | |
| Meitner MA3i DAC Review Thanks @delm I’m not using any network tweaks other than the Purist CAT7 Ethernet cable and I have a LinkUp cable from Amazon as well as I throw it into the mix. Comparing the two, as with all other streamers I had, the Purist wins. That’s why I... |
