remember that buffer needs to break in a bit and yes Tom is a great guy...

Wise words Skip. I felt the same way in my previous post. 
ARC Ref 3 Main Output Impedance Question
Well I can tell you that I have looked at driving a balanced input of an ARC amp with a single ended input while looking at it on my scope. This was done with a 250W Dale non-inductive resistor loading the amps 8 ohm tap. This was on an amp that o...

ARC Ref 3 Main Output Impedance Question
Someone needs to do a test to settle this debate.I'm wondering if distortion products go up?

Bob, as there is no such thing as a straight wire with gain, an active device added to the signal path will have some effect on the sound. However the effects should be minimal as the buffer used is being set to unity. I don't know which buffer To... 
ARC Ref 3 Main Output Impedance Question
When you set up an op amp you can choose the amount of gain you want. Since it's acting as a buffer, no gain is required and therefore, the op amp is set to 'unity' or 1:1 gain. Meaning the signal you put in is the same as you get coming out.

He has enough business so I'm sure more would just be added pressure....

Bifwynne, Tom is a great guy. I have had quite a few nice conversations with him... 
What power cable for DAC?
There is no obvious choice. Since power cords, speaker wires, and interconnect cables are simply a tone control, (there is no such thing as a straight wire with gain), the only way to truly determine what works in an individual system is to try it...

I'm going to try the NRG-4 in see what happens...
