What the Best Dac have you heard or owned. How could you tell it was that good.
@calvinj Yes, the Esoteric N01XD SE is amazing.  I upgraded from the prior XD.  I would rank it up there with the $40k DSC model.

Audioquest Pegasus XLR Interconnects
Let me know your thoughts when you have a chance to compare them.  I also have the Pegasus, and really like them.

I loved the Raspberries back in the day.  I was 14 when Go all the way was a hit.  
JL Audio Fathom
I also have owned dual JL Audio f 113’s v2 for about 7 years. They unfortunately both needed servicing, and one of the units, had to be serviced a second time. However, to their credit, they ended up replacing it with a brand new unit about a year...

Yes, I get to play whatever I want. No commercials.    Check the show out when you have an hour. 😁

Cable Break In for the Naysayers
Ozzy, I gad the same experience when I upgraded XLR cables from Earth to the new Pegasus.  They are fabulous!

Audioquest Pegasus XLR Interconnects
Hi Kennymacc, I recently upgraded from Audioquest earth to the Pegasus. I have to agree, the improvement was very noticeable. Vocals are very clear and natural, and bass is well defined. Music and sounds that were in the background on a song seem... 
AudioQuest Pegasus vs Thunderbird Interconnects
For what it is worth, I recently upgraded to Pegasus XLR from Earth.  Sweeter highs, clear and natural mid range vocals, fuller bass.  
Why No McIntosh Recommendations?
