GutWire Ultimate Grounding Cable
Months so well broken in.  I'll play with it again in different positions and components.More interesting is RCA shorting pins.  Had them in for months and sound opened up as each pair is removed.   I use RCA caps without shorting pins that reduce... 
A lot of hype about PS Audio, deservedly so ?
It's the same reason I prefer Toyota/Lexus over BMW. Let's talk about that BMW pedigree when it comes to sell a 10 year old BMW vs a 10 year old Lexus.  ;) Prefer Mercedes to BMW but will take a 10 years old BMW over newer Toyota/Lexus any day. 
GutWire Ultimate Grounding Cable
My system is dead quiet and excellent SQ.  I tried grounding cable with RCA connector on several preamps and found sound is darken, high limited and not as airy.   Similar results with RCA grounding pins.  Like everything else, everything system d... 
Thiel is officially closed!!
It's something I recently considered and made me think twice about buying Dan D'Agostino's mono blocs given Dan's age and the size of the company. +1  There's only ONE Dan D'Agostino! 
Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy?

Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC
My interpretation of "managed" is ability to configure each port individually versus "unmanaged" where all are equivalent.   But with only 1 component,  should make no difference IMHO.With switch in the chain, you're hearing 2 additional digital c... 
Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC
Have you tried going LAN in off of your router as a comparison? My guess that’s what he’s doing connecting wireless to the router. How else can you connect wireless? What endpoint?  The M5 board is Bricasti built-in dCS Network Bridge. 
Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC
Netgear GS108 Switch is basically a splitter similiar to one I use in my office at work.  IMHO, will sound different so I guess better to some. 
Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC
It's like running daisy train of power conditioners, cables, preamps ... yes it will sound different but is it better??My office has one ethernet port and I have 3 Linux / Windows desktops without wireless.   I use a network switch to hook up al... 
Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC
Network switch is to add ethernet ports to a router.  If running wireless or have enough port on router, why bother adding another layer? 
Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC
@jwm I have the Bricasti SE with the new internal ethernet capable board. It takes the DAC to a new level. What server are you using with ethernet? 
Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC
Just thinking out loud...Would be interesting how the Bricasti M1SE with Ethernet option and used as a renderer/i2s DAC would stack up in your system.  This could eliminate your Musica Pristina A Capella and HDMI cable completely! and both us... 
MIT ... joeabrams
If I would venture a guess I believe the multiple listings makes it a little more difficult for others to resell their cables...But that’s just a guess.. ... and other dealers.  I hope you all plan to keep them for good. 
I love my PS Audio Direct Stream with Red Cloud :)
in_shore, just to show 16/44.1 is not limiting factor but execution.  I got the same audiophile CDs and Tonian Labs is superior.   I'm keeping eye on their future releases.Merry Christmas! 
MIT ... joeabrams
Fair enough, I guess just me :-)   Part of the reason is can't keep up with MIT lineup.  Shotgun, Oracle V2, v1.2, Magnum, 2C3D .. so doesn't help with pages of duplicated listings.   Looks like will be working with my local MIT dealer to sort out...
