HDMI from TV for longish run to stereo system
I would go with Wireworld or Audioquest fiber optic if you can.  I’ve had good luck with both for a 50’ long run to my projector.  
Chord Dave and lInear power supply
For those of you who have the new Farad upgraded DAVE, what power cords are you using with it? Thanks  
Reterminating Audioquest Hurricane HC
I have a Hurricane high current that I sent in to Audioquest to be reterminated from a c15 to a c19 a couple of years ago.  When returned they sent me back the c15 plug as well.   Since then I’ve changed the plugs out myself depending on my needs ... 
Clarity Audio Cables
Yes, I just bought some Vortex’s power cables from Clarity Cable a few weeks ago. You’ll just need to email Melissa.   Her email is on their website.  
Chord Dave and lInear power supply
shkong78,  Yes, I agree, much more lively and dynamic!  I’m using a Wireworld platinum AES/EBU digital cable right now from my N20 to my DAVE so I may try out a good copper cable and see how that sounds.   lalitk,  Absolutely!  Love your system ...

I installed mine last week and it’s been settling in.   Overall I agree with what everyone has said.   It improves everything the Dave does well- depth of soundstage as improved and I’ve noticed increased transparency.  Some lyrics that were smear... 
Octave HP-700se and Accuphase C-2150 Preamp Question
I have the Octave HP700 with the MRE220 monoblocs and love it- Very neutral but has great depth and width to the soundstage.   Of course everything is system dependent.   I suggest trying them both in your system is you can.

Thanks everyone!  I should receive the PSU the week after next.  I’m looking forward to trying it out.

Well I took the plunge and ordered a Farad PS for my Chord DAVE.  Fingers crossed!!!

Thanks I’ve been looking at the Ideon Absolute as well as the Playback Designs Dream DAC.  A lot of money for those, but if I can upgrade my DAVE for far less that may be a good option.

Shkong78, Did you buy the upgraded furutech and SR fuse with the power supply?  Based on the 3k price you paid I would assume so. I’ve been very happy with my chord DAVE over the years but your post has me considering an upgrade. Thanks  
Doubling a Set of Speaker Cables
Yes, shouldn’t be an issue.     By the way I have two sets of Wireworld Eclipse 8s speaker cables on my system and I noticed more weight and authority to the music once I added the second pair.  
Infigo Audio Cables
To add to ricred1 comments…. I really feel I’ve got my system dialed in the way I like it so I really wasn’t looking to change anything at the moment - You can see my system posted in the virtual systems.   I’ve tried a lot of cables and many had ... 
Playback Edelweiss in the house
sm121055, What did you think of the Dream DAC?  Thanks   
DAVE w/ or w/out M Scaler?
Wellschlager,   For me I didn’t find that it aucked the life out of the room but I did find that the music just sounded off and unnatural.  Hard to put my finger on it.  I really tried to like it too since I had bought the m-scaler new.   At the e...
