| USB vs SPDIF, which sounds better? @medwardo, thanks for your info. I recently got a Silnote Poseiden Signature SPDIF RCA cable, and so far I like what I am hearing. The SPDIF RCA connection does sound fuller, bigger soundstage, and more detail than the USB connection. I also fe... | |
| USB vs SPDIF, which sounds better? @lissnr I've had very good experience with TWL power cords and speaker cables. Yes, Pete makes excellent cables. I've not tried his interconnects. May be I should give his SPDIF cable a try.I am using the Takatsuki 300B's and KR 5U4G Lampizator... | |
| USB vs SPDIF, which sounds better? My bad. I forgot I have a remote control for the DAC. I usually don't use the remote because I have an integrated amp, so I always use the volume control on the integrated amp, not the one on the DAC. Using the remote, I was able to toggle the ... | |
| USB vs SPDIF, which sounds better? I just double-checked the back of my Big 7, and there is no toggle switch to switch between USB and SPDIF. Does this mean I can only have 1 cable physically hooked up at a time? I may need to check with Lampizator on this. | |
| USB vs SPDIF, which sounds better? @mid40sguy Yes, you are right about the clock and the DSD. So, if both USB and SPDIF cables are connected from the N10 to the DAC, then how does the PCM signal know to go through the SPDIF connection and not through the USB connection? Does N10 ... | |
| Choice of Integrated amp Give Hegel and Luxman a try if you haven't. | |
| USB vs SPDIF, which sounds better? Thanks @celander. You are exactly right. My N10 has the BNC output, but it’s my DAC that’s limited to the RCA connection. So, I may end up using one BNC/RCA adapter on the DAC end. In Mike’s video, I don’t see what USB and digital cables he used i... | |
| USB vs SPDIF, which sounds better? Thanks for your input. Yes, I will definitely give the SPDIF cable a try. From what I've read/heard so far, it is likely that the digital SPDIF setup will sound better than the USB setup. The question now is what digital cable to get. I've rea... | |
| Is it all in my head?? Power cords do impact the sound. I was skeptical at first too, but after hearing the difference, I know it's true. You will get to hear more difference the more stock power cords you replace in your system. | |
| Hegel H360 vs Accuphase E470 I went from Hegel H160 to H360 to Luxman L-590AXII. Loved the Hegel's, but the Luxman is a significant improvement over the H360. | |
| Audience SX2/Front Row Cables...has anyone tried or heard much of this new reference line? Has anyone tried the Front Row cables? The Audience website doesn't even have this cable listed. I feel the same way as @audiobrian, and not sure if this high-priced Front Row is good or bad for them. | |
| USB Cable Comparison Audience / Cardas / Purist / Stealth / Wireworld I heard back from the FTA owner, Goran. The 1m Callisto USB cable is $850 CHF (Swiss Franc) + $24 CHF shipping. So, that's roughly $880 USD. | |
| USB Cable Comparison Audience / Cardas / Purist / Stealth / Wireworld @ferrox, FTA Callisto looks interesting. What is the price and is there a US dealer/distributor? | |

| Integrated Amp to match with Magico A3 T+A PA 3100 HV sounds great with Magico A3. Heard this combo at a local audio show this year.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOPSwuKMFTUhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUQqBYl7Y5k&t=1s |
