Experience up-leveling streaming with USB cables?
This is a good USB reference comparison thread. https://www.whatsbestforum.com/threads/usb-cable-shootout-8-cables-tested.37488/ I suggest picking two USB cables that have sound characteristics described close to what you are looking for and A/B t... 
Front Row Seat Power Cord?
The best that I have heard that create a front row perspective when used on an amplifier is the Virtual Dynamics Master LE.

@westborn what other power cords have you compared the Tek Line to? Just curious what the Tek Line does in relation to other cords? Has anyone tried the Triode Wire Labs American Digital II on the Da 005?  
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
@westborn does your assessment still stand for the Tek Line 10 ag power cord? There is a Tek Line Reference for sale right now but seems to be different to the cord you have. I find that the 005 changes significantly with power cords. I have tried... 
XLR cables for a reasonable price?
I have recently bought many pro audio XLR cables Mogami 2549, Mogami 3173, Canare L-4E6S, Gotham GAC 4/1 Ultra Pro and Belden 1800f. I believe that there are no absolutes in Audio. What works in one system or between two components will have diffe... 
Can I do any better than BJC LC-1 or Gotham GAC-1 Ultra Pro for the money?
I just went through this exercise my self and use BJC LC-1 in my system as well. However, most of my system is balanced. I A/B/C Mogami 2549, Mogami 3173, Canare L-4E6S, Belden 1800f and Gotham GAC 4/1 Ultra Pro. Cables are system dependent so you... 
ifi LAN iSilencer
I implemented this into my system and I had the same experience as the OP. I have this connected to my router prior to my Small Green Computer i9 Optical to Sonore OpticalRendu. There has been some debate whether this would bring an improvement pr... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
I installed a Synergistic Research Purple fuse in my Musetec Da 005 and can report that it made a very positive improvement. The soundstage expanded in all directions. There is greater seperation of images and there is more layering in the soundst... 
Short Review of Revelation Audio Passage Cryo-Silver™ Reference umbilical power cable
I purchased a Revelation Audio Labs Passage Cryo Silver Reference umbilical through Brad's ebay listings. I required a custom length for my Supratek Cabernet and Brad added a new listing on ebay for my specific purchase. All done very promptly and... 
Supratek Owners Thread
I am a happy new owner of a Cabernet 6SN7. I was a bit worried that I would have an issue with the noise floor or tube hiss on my 100db efficient Altec A7 since I had issues with a Border Patrol EXT, Modwright LS 36.5 and a Rogue RP 7. I can happi...

Best sounding low power (under 80watts) Class AB amp?
Topping LA90 is what I am using now. I picked this with the same criteria as you are looking for. Low weight, Class A/B under 80 watts, runs only slightly warm. It has beat out the Benchmark AHB2 as the lowest Sinad measurements. I've sold off the... 
opticalRendu network streamer – a review
I had a very similar experience moving from a Chromecast to Node 2i, then added the PD Creative power supply and ultimately changed to the ORendu. A noticeable improvement in SQ was achieved with each upgrade. I listened to a friend's Gustard R26 ... 
Enleum Amp 23R w/LS3/5A
It sounded like a good SET amp. Images floated in space.  
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
I have tried 2 USB cables without the 5V, that being the Acoustic BBQ Full Rack and Sablon 2020. I have also tried the following powered cables Audioquest Diamond, Supra Excalibur and a couple of generic cables. I found in both circumstances with ...
