Sgordon1,Thanks very much for letting me know. I do vibration isolation for my components but I did not know that Schumanns could also benefit from this. I will give it a try. How does the sound quality change?

Charles1dad,I am looking to add the new PS Audio DS DAC to my system next year. I have the NAD M51 at the moment which is a great DAC -- a sleeper that performs far, far above its price point.

Thanks Ozzy.

Transparent digital vs. Anaconda digital
Bo1972,Thanks for your reply. I note your use of the word "often" to qualify your observations.Frankly, IMO, trying to listen to cables at shows where the systems are unfamiliar and the settings are often noisy may not be the best way to audition ...

If you have a look at the PS audio forum dedicated to the DS you will note that the DS needs 500+ hours of break-in. 
Transparent digital vs. Anaconda digital
Bo1972,Thanks for your reply. I understand about properties, of course. But do you mean that everyone who enjoys Shunyata cables "are not aware how big an instrument or voice should be"? I was in touch yesterday with someone from the Audiogon foru...
