My umbilical cable between my preamp and its power supply.
Cool, I have one for my Legacy Audio Wavelet II / HDplex LPS  connection that was supposed to come USPS today but it must be coming tomorrow. It's the Passage CryoSilver™ Reference umbilical power cable. Can't wait to get in and get it cooking.  
Short Review of Revelation Audio Passage Cryo-Silver™ Reference umbilical power cable
Resurrection of this old thread. Yesterday morning  I contacted Brad for an umbilical cable for my HD Plex to Legacy Audio Wavelet II. Last night I got notification it was done and shipping this morning. That was quick!  
Chinese DAC's
@panzrwagn  +2!  Well said.   
I could have started this on the cables thread.....but....
I contacted Brad yesterday morning to build me a umbilical cord between my HD Plex LPS and my Legacy Wavelet II.  He built it immediately yesterday and notified me last night it would ship today. Tha was unexpected service. I have heard nothing bu... 
What are your opinions of DSP's for speakers
I am going to go against the grain here. I do have the Legacy Audio Focus XD's with the Wavelet II DSP. I use it as my preamp fed by my Terminator 15th DAC. I have a dedicated 14 x 18 x 6.5 room. (Low ceiling) with a massive amount of room treatme... 
Picking a power amp
@twangy57   A set of Forte IV and this amp will sound nice. https://aricaudio.com/super-kt88-120-se/  
Is it possible to find a good DAC for under $50, 000?
Late to the party here. JMHO-A $50K DAC would most likely be surrounded with similar priced electronics, cables, speakers and a room with treatments. Therefor it is very likely that the sound quality would be more easily distinguished. So for that... 
Looking to upgrade from Emotiva XPA-1 monoblocks
Coda amps mate well with Legacy Speakers. You can check that out at Axpona by stopping by the Legacy room. James from Destination Hifi will most likely be there nd you can ask him about it, or Bill of course.  
Seeking a Tube preamplifier
Contact Aric Audio, I am sure he can make you a tubed linestage with a balance control or 2 volume.  
Im going to regret my cable question
@mike4597  I  had the same instant response to Silversmiths.  @neversatisfied , Wireworld cables are usually a safe bet, very neutral cables.  
HALO DAC I2S question
MY first guess is the pin out on your HDMI cable isn't compatible.  
Snake River Audio Power Cables - Best Unboxing
I just ordered a Signature Amp series PC for my amp from Jonny today, super nice guy. I plan to get another Signature for my Terminator 15th DAC very soon.  
Coda vs Parasound
FWIW I have the Coda S5.5 and it is a very good sounding amplifier, very powerful for it's modes rating. I can wholeheartedly recommend Coda amplifiers.  
Wifi vs ethernet revisited
FWIW, kinda on the same line on this topic. I have an LHY EFI fiber optic isolator being delivered today. I will not be able to try it for a few weeks until I return home. It internally isolates wired ethernet to optical and back. I am going to pl... 
Spatial Audio Raven Preamp
I would suggest you just try running your DAC straight into the Raven to compare. You may be surprised at what you hear. Just give it a try.
