Audioquest Rocket 33, anyone knows how to take off the banana plug end?
Interesting post.  I can't help but  I do have Rocket 33's running to my B&W 804s and they made a big difference from a no name, cheap brand that they replaced. Cables do matter! Good luck.

@dave777tx  Hi.  Side bar here. I have an Innuos Zentih Mk3 and Phoenix USB.  I'm committed to this path so I2S and other methods of sending to 1s and 0s to my Chord Qutest DAC don't interest me. That being said, do you think I should add the P...

Passed on the Oppo 105.  Now looking at the Magnetar UDP 900.    @mijostyn  @miketuason  Any further thoughts on this unit before I spend $3K?  Did either of you look at the UDP 800?  It’s around $1,600.  Just wondering what you get from the up...

USB Cable - A to B
@lalitk  Sounds like a good approach.  The Cable Co. will allow me to audition cables for 7-10 days, as long as I buy from them.  Do you know of anybody else?  My local A/V guy only has Audioquest. @soix  I like the sound of LavriCable.  I'm go...

@mijostyn  Thank you.  I’ll check it out. I didn’t mention that I also have about 1,000 LPs.  Yeah, it’s a bit of an obsession this hobby. I have several rare records too.  How do you digitize them - through some sort of tape loop?  If you have...

@mijostyn  Thank you for the explanation. I have a quite a collection too: 6,000 cds, 750 SACDS, 100 Blu-Rays, and about 100 DVD-Audio discs. I am in the process of ripping my favorite cds to a music server with a 4TB SSD drive.  The others wil...

@tommart  I’ve got my eye on this one.  Is it worth the price and why? I have 6,000 cds and around 750 SACDs.  I’m currently using an Oppo 105 as my player.  For $6K, I want to be amazed.  What say ye? Thanks!
