Similar sound characteractics to MIT cables?
I am running MIT Oracle 3.5 series Cabled and Oracle PC's on an all Krell system...listening to your favorite music through it would likely make you piss your pants!  Let me put it in Bonese lingo...I make the 3D sound amazing.  Sound is real and ... 
Neutral electronics are a farce...
Jmcgrogan does have a point...as he indicated, natural is vague as well.  How about realistic, as having the full envelope of frequencies and tones expressed with complete dynamic freedom and clarity!  That should eliminate about 90% of systems:).... 
With $20,000 in your hand, what speaker would you
Wilson would be great with various electronics and offer dynamics superior to almost anything available. 
Preamp... Solid State or Tube
Krell Illusion II 
Suggestion of Amplifier for Dynaudio Confidence C4
Krell 
New Luxman DA-06 doesnt sound so great. Will it get better?
IMO, all this trendy mix and match DAC stuff with assorted degrees of crap accessories is quite pointless unless your pursuit is pure functionality alone.   For great sound, a one box source and simplified amplification stage with quality cables/c...

Bo, you are one broken English bullshit artist for sure...happy trails!

I missed the note about the step down transformer.  Not a good idea...also, don't assume you understand what's going on in the audio chain.  There is still some things that remain unquantifiable! 
What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report
Keith Jarrett, Live at the Deer Head Inn...you can feel the moisture in the air on that muggy night when they recorded the session in Delaware Water Gap, PA.  The air conditioner hums throughout the entire performance and occasionally you can hear...

First impressions usually indicate whether or not a piece of audio gear will do it for you...sorry to say.  I've owned a lot of gear and break in IS real, but only goes so far.  If there is an inherent problem like your describing then it will mos...

Live music is never squished my friends.  Unless you are in a uniquely dead listening inviron!  Ex., the BSO sounds explosive and blooms sweetly as it washes over you with wave after wave of dynamically blissful musical notes. A bassoon alone can ... 
Universal Players vs. Dedicated CD/SACD Players
The Cipher involves me in the music like when I heard my first BSO performance of HOLST's The Planets!  I was but a teenager and sat 5th row center...it was grippingly beautiful and utterly mesmerizing.  So alive and dynamic and organic with accur...

psag understands....as would anyone with 2 ears and a decent system!

Just to be clear, I've owned and Demo'd a good number of AQ cables.  They are not superior to MIT designs by a long shot.  You will find overemphasis and a slight hardness in the AQ designs, especially the silver looms.  I currently use Oracle 3.5...

Wolf, you managed to scare the crap out of me...the images you painted sound absolutely frightening!  Not sure if it was the acid or the braiding...I'd prefer 10th row at the BSO;)
