| Experience with Black Cat and/or Triode lab Wires I have TWL Freedom ethernet cables. Pete is very easy to deal with, and the cables are excellent, and a very good price. Also have a Black Cat Silverstar 75 ohm coax cable. It's very good. Not sure about the entry level RCAs from Black Cat, but ... | |
| Add a Linear power supply or iFi SPDIF Purifier2? If looking at a cheapish LPS, this one is quite good https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001288349011.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.0.0.55c218024DJ8dl | |
| Has anyone heard of Audiocadabra cables? Bought an Akiko Audio product from them in 2016 with a hassle free transaction. | |
| Experience buying from Europe? I buy from England, Scotland and the Netherlands often. Have also bought from Poland, Norway, Ukraine, Romania with no problems. | |
| Help optimizing my streaming setup My modem is 15m from my system. I found a network switch made a difference. Bought a Cisco 8 ports unmanaged switch and had Fidelity Audio (UK) install one of their clocks. Put my modem and switch on a linear power supply. And bought reasonable... | |
| Power cords: Anticable vs Mad Scientist I have Mad Scientist power cables. 2 x Nitro, 2 x Nitro Nano, as well as a First+ and a Basic. 2 more Nitro Nanos to be bought next year. Also have his Black Magic Ultra USB cable. All recommended. | |
| Ethernet cable recommendations Ended up buying two Lan isolators. Acoustic Revive LAN RLI-1GB-TRIPLE-C and Pink Faun. | |
| Ethernet cable recommendations I ended up buying Triode Wire Labs Freedom ethernet cables. From wall to switch, and then another from switch to streamer. | |
| Ethernet cable recommendations @acdvd Did you ever make a decision on ethernet cables? | |
| Do I really need an " Audio Grade Network Switch "? Yes, certainly cheaper. But in my experience, the network switch I have was markedly better than without. | |
| What can I do between the wall and my streamer/DAC? Another option is putting a network switch after the 45' run of ethernet cable, run by a linear power supply. Some form of LAN Isolator to the Lumin with a good ethernet cable from the switch. An Eno would suit, or the likes of a Pink Faun. | |
| AES/EBU vs XLR cables for digital connection I've chosen AES/EBU to go from DDC to Dac, as a preference over I2S. Have ordered an Audience AU24Sx cable. | |
| What is Your End Game System? @macdude The same for the Cisco SG110D, with Fidelity Audio clock. Small footprint, and run by a 12v lps. And has certainly improved the sound of my streaming. | |
| Advice for RCA Interconnect Upgrade? I haven't got the TWL RCAs, but really like his Freedom ethernet cables. The RCAs being copper, and said to have a 'natural' sound is promising for you. | |
