What to do next . . .?

Cardas Clear usb
Cardas Clear and the difference are night and day. The overall sound GREATLY improved. Much more musical. No more white noise. I truthfully have never been a believer in upgrading digital cords other than for basic build quality. Now I know better. 
Power Cable Question...
Bluesky-Your set up sounds like it is off to a great start and I bet it is very enjoyable to listen to, to say the least! BTW- I mis-understood your problem. Most upgraded female ends of the power cords do NOT go in until they are flush. They tend... 
Power Cable Question...
I have had the same issue with my power plant premier. I called PS Audio and the tech suggested I squeeze the U shaped ground plug a bit to make it a bit narrower. The PS receptacles REALLY grab. It took me a LOT of force. Enough so as I stopped a...
