My First DIY Power Cable
@mitch2    Never said the cable was 19awg.  L/N are ~12awg, G ~13.5.  Pretty adequate for a PC.

Steve, May have to try swapping the the yellow/red as you point out. I have two cables so could be an interesting eval... Plus they are terminated with fork terminals for easy/secure connections.   Marty

Hi Steve,   As you posted... Red - line  Black - neutral Yellow - ground Although, each wire/conductor is 19.5 AWG.   This is very solid cable.  Prices have actually dipped below $100 at times...   https://smile.amazon.com/Viborg-Audiophi...

If you like the Viborg story, go with their bulk power cable.  I have a couple and they are solid.   https://www.ebay.com/itm/203205357455        
Peachtree GaN 1 Beta
@newbluesuit Volume will be controlled by the streamer.  You will not lose any resolution (signal) going through the GaN1.   In theory, this will be the most direct way to amplify a digital source.  
Affordable GaN FET amp from Peachtree Audio
I'm very intrigued and did sign up.  I'll be able to use my Rose 150B and easily switch between the GaN 1 (DAC less) and the XLR outs (via 9038 Pro).  I have several Class D amps (nCore, Purifi, Mini GaN5) that I can eval. All my music listening ... 
HiFi Rose RS250
I don’t understand how anyone can even think of replacing it with another DAC. Not possible, just not possible! DACs...we don’t need any stinking DACs. https://www.peachtreeaudio.com/pages/gan-1      
What I have found - Makes a good Cable !
Hi Steve, Still waiting on delivery of my AR CCC wire....I went cheap and didn’t upgrade the delivery option. We’ll see if it ever shows up. I picked up some Zavfino hook up wire from partsconnexion. I really don’t know where to use it. 13awg OC... 
Peachtree GaN 1 Beta
I signed up for the beta.  I'll be able to use my Rose 150B and compare the GaN1 (DAC less) to using the standard XLR out (9038 PRO DACs) to my existing Class D amps. I guess going even farther would be to eval with their GaN400 or the LSA...

@jbuhl  Don't stress.  Focus on good conductors, good connectors and secure connections... Lots of knowledge from Steve and the other folks.   I have used both Viborg and SonarQuest.   Both are very good.  Even though I prefer silver over pure co... 
Peachtree GaN 1 Beta
Intriguing...may have to try it out.   Just sent Peachtree an inquiry.  Any details on a return policy for this Beta program?

@61falcon Good luck with your search...I wouldn't stress on all the data sheet marketing details.    I have been using Class D for over 10 years.   Anyone that wants to promote legacy A, A/B, tube stuff needs to retire and tend to their gardens. ... 
Go Cat8!
@steakster I bought #3.  Actually bought a 15m cable and extra connectors in order to make custom lengths.   Coming from wifi, I can't compare to other ethernet cables.   It is more bulky and you will need adequate space in order to route.   For... 
Wanting to upgrade my streaming sound quality.
Just saw your PM.  Glad everything is now working...   Enjoy!  
Wanting to upgrade my streaming sound quality.
@mapman Had the Evo 150 for about a month. I was in the same boat trying to consolidate a bunch of gear. Tremendous amount of experience with Hypex, so know the nCore stuff really well. Probably would have kept it if it had the Purifi modules. Did...
