| Puritan PSM156 @protegimus I had to rework the panel as well. Haven’t had a listen yet. Lent my USB cable to someone in the UK. Since my system is down, also lent my DDC, I2S cable and USB reclocker to a friend who lives close. System will be back up and ru... | |
| Ethernet cable for music streaming A few things I've done. Some cheapish, some pricey. Upgraded my router from the one supplied by my internet provider. LPS of my modem and router. Plixir and FiiO. Changed the fuses on these as well. Bought a wifi extender. Triode Wire Labs Free... | |
| Streamer only I've put my money where my mouth is, and upgraded my streamer. Against my better judgement (price wise) I'm in the process of purchasing an Antipodes K21. Was looking at Innuos Pulse and Lumin U2. Should match well with the Innuos Phoenix USB. | |
| supra sword excalibur speaker cable I have positive experience with Auditorium A23 speaker cables. They are very neutral, which is exactly what I was looking for in my system. | |
| Linear Power supply for a Weiss dac 204? I have two Plixir Elite LPS. One for my system switch, and a dual for another switch and router. Excellent. A Teddy Pardo MiniTeddy LPS for streamer. Excellent. A Coherent Systems (UK) for an Intel Nuc. Excellent. A FiiO PL50 for modem. Very g... | |

| Streamer only I can vouch for the Project Stream Box S2 Ultra. A very good streamer, reasonably priced, that performs above its price point. I'm looking at upgrading in the future, but will have to spend more than double the cost for a reasonable improvement. | |
| Ethernet cables @rooze I researched a fair amount before I upgraded my ethernet cables. Found a few who suggested unshielded Cat6 as the final cable to your streamer. I have 10m of Blue Jeans Horizontal in-wall Cat6a from my router to my wall outlet (to be in... | |
| Best USB cable upgrade for around $1000 Why listen to you? You have nothing valuable to contribute... | |
| Best USB cable upgrade for around $1000 @mikey8811 I've upgraded my Mad Scientist 'Black Magic Ultra' USB cable. Sent it back to Bob, and for reasonable money it was upgraded to a Mad Scientist 'Black Magic Gold' USB cable. I'm very impressed with the improvement. Well worth it. | |
| Ethernet cables @Megabyte Not many spend $2000 on an ethernet cable. Those who do, will have systems to match. And the effect of the cable would be noticeable compared to the Belden. The Belden is a reasonable start. My Triode Wire Labs ’Freedom’ have also bee... | |
| External Linear Power Supplies @cdc So you are saying a battery power supply is inferior to electrical linear or switching P-S? Not at all. I have not compared the two, so cannot comment. Found a linear power supply better on a previous Dac than a batter power supply. | |
| Puritan PSM156 Furutech IEC ncf fi-33 arrived today. Looking forward to installing it. | |
| Another post about a streamer upgrade I am in a similar position with my desire to upgrade. Currently have a Project Stream Box S2 Ultra streamer, run on a Teddy Pardo MiniTeddy LPS. Mad Scientist Black Magic Ultra power cable, and SR Orange fuse. Will be looking on the used market,... | |
| Puritan PSM156 Loving what my Puritan PSM156 and Ultimate power cable have done to my system. questforhifi: "Not really my goal to sell you on another more expensive conditioner, but rather just point out the puritan restricts dynamics." I've found the exact... |
