Furutech GTX NCF receptical break in, how long
Just over a 120hrs on the GTX ncf and last night sounded good with bass extension returning, the two nights before had me worried. I do use a 1hr break with no signal as two allow a relax period then back at it. I'm burning in Morrow Audio MA 5 xl... 
Can AC Outlets really make a difference?
I'll second the above 100% , I'm currently burning in a Furutech GTX NCF (R)  Prior to was the PS Audio Premier and AQ Edison . Each has a different signature but I'm really liking what I'm getting from the Furutech those far. So 10awg dedicated 2...

Parasound A21 and A21+: Significant Improvements in SQ?

I plan on trying my 2019 Shield pro via usb soon to a dac I just picked up but as it stands for now I use my oppo 203 via coax set to LPCM to take advantage of high res files up to 24/192hz, will it send that via bitstream as well? that may be the...
