One person or 100 people providing feedback it will still be subjective.  I believe mikirob has been responsive and insightful.  He's given follow up links as well. I strongly suspect that this is a very good cable. Good luck.Charles,

Hello Frank,For clarification I was not suggesting that you need to be muzzled.  I was just expressing my own observation that what more can be said in terms of rebuttal from either side. Harry Connick sure was a big name during the 1990s primaril...

Hello jazzdoc,I would love the opportunity to hear your system one day.  Regarding the "little tweaks " I agree that they make a difference that's more than "little" based on my experiences. In my case addressing  vibration control/management,  AC...

Jazzdoc,Congratulations! I’ve admired your audio system for some time and  particularly your Experience Music Khan Line Stage. No doubt that the Found Music amplifier is an excellent addition. In a high quality audio system Redbook CDs can sound g...

Hello David,I look forward to your listening impressions of the Sophia blue glass 300b tubes. I’ve auditioned many 300bs over the years and it was both fun and informative. Mitch2,I believe that the vast majority  here at this point share your rec...

Hi Barbapapa, I do not doubt your preference for the Audio Magic Beeswax fuse,  taste and variables determine choice. There's an ongoing thread about a product called the Holo Audio Spring DAC which is an interesting R2R configured converter. A go... 
Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great???

HOLO Audio Spring DAC: Affordable discrete R2R Multibit Dac, could be a winner.
Jon,The good news for my friend was he had no problem selling the Playback Designs. Audio  products that reach esteemed status via reviews and word of mouth sell quickly in most cases. When I sold my Metrum DAC a few years ago I received five offe...

Jon2020, In theory you’re right regarding price category and expected performance. However actually listening to components in your system proves otherwise. I’ve learned that price/performance isn’t a linear relationship. The friend I referred to ... 
HOLO Audio Spring DAC: Affordable discrete R2R Multibit Dac, could be a winner.
Hello Bill,The primary comparison will be between the Spring DAC  and Bricasti SE. The Yamamoto is definitely a lesser known Japanese boutique product. It has been built by a very talented designer and sounds superbly natural and is musically/emot... 
HOLO Audio Spring DAC: Affordable discrete R2R Multibit Dac, could be a winner.
Bill,Yes I was referring to current to voltage conversion (I/V). It is usually via a resistor (passive), Op amp or sometimes a transformer (Audio Note). However as Al wrote R2R ladder circuits can have voltage output rather than current output. I’...
