Veritas Cables a new brand that I found
I have asked Veritas to build a few ethernet cables. A 1M from the wall to my switch, a short run from the switch to my ethernet optical Isolation filter, and another short run from the filter to my streamer. I have a mix of cat6 and cat7 now. Not...

@v-fi Your D-06u and my D-05u may be more alike than my previous post would imply.  After checking, the D-05u also uses a BB chip, the PCM1795. A notable different sound signature compared to my R2R DAC. I must have been thinking of a previous pla...

Another note. I am doing some early morning low level listening and these cable have a marked improvement in clarity, dynamics and resolution in the 55 DB range.  
Help with Denafrips Iris 12th to Ares 12th-1 - I2S, no audio
What make and model of HDMI/I2s are you using?

@samureyex  No, the bass might have been a little light at first but it has been there all along. And I can hear more details and textures as well.

Here is my 2 cents. I run an Iris 12th DDC feeding either an Audio Mirror Troubadour III SE DAC via i2s or a Luxman D-05U SACD player via Coax. The AM DAC is R2R the Lux uses Wolfson chips. Both feed a Luxman 595 class A integrated via XLR. Qobuz ...

Try testing the coax connection with any RCA cable. Though not optimal, will pass the signal if it is there to pass.  
Six DAC Comparison
I use an Iris 12th DDC in front of my Audio Mirror DAC. Makes a very noticeable improvement.

Audio Mirror Tubadour V
@hasmarto I will report back once I have the III SE ungraded.  @dhungana I decided to try a Denafrips DDC. I picked one up just before I got the III SE. It made a noticeable difference with the Orchid and a similar improvement with the III SE. We... 
Audio Mirror Tubadour V
I picked up a used Tubadour III SE partly based on feedback from this thread. I had a highly modified MHDT Orchid (Grannyring) and the III SE just edges out the modified Orchid. Attacks and decays have a little more natural 3D presentation. A step... 
Technics SL 1200 GR
In addition to the Nagaoka JT 80 Black, which I have, I would also recommend the Nagaoka MP-500. Both are excellent carts. The MP-500 will give you more transparency and perhaps keep you from wanting to upgrade down the road.   
dac recommendations for turntable listener?
+1 on adding a better power supply to the Node. This should help with the sibilance, tame harshness and add more clarity. I highly recommend Fidelity Audio in UK. Their Reference interface board and LPS make an exceptional difference. But the Tedd...

Maybe not completely relevant, I have the same mastering by Bernie G/ Acoustic Sounds on SACD. This beats my Japan pressing on vinyl, which beats my US pressing and streaming from Qubuz. Worth getting IMO.
