Ceriously, it all started with a power cable
@squared80 - thank you for your opinion.

@jl35 - I believe the new extreme, matrix, and limniscate do not have to break in the same position. You can move them if you need to.

Ceriously, it all started with a power cable
@curiousjim - below is the website. All his cables are in that price range. I believe the most expensive cable is the Lumniscate XLR around $2,600. Please check the website for exact pricing. I plan to ask Bob if he has ever thought about cyro’ing...

@bugredmachine - thanks for your reply. I’ve heard of all the brands you mentioned but have only listened to Synergistic. Most Synergistic’s are out of my price range. I will do a little more research on the other brands you listed. The Lumniscate... 
Considering switching to XLR cables,
I highly recommend looking into Cerious Technologies cables. I’ve used very expensive cables until I found Cerious. Bob’s XLRs are more resolving than other cables three to four times the price. Just take a look at their website.    https://cerio... 
Linear Power Supply Recommendations!
@lalitk - I just ordered two MCRU LPSs for my ifi Neo Stream and my Router. I ordered the base model for both the streamer and router. I only use the Neo Stream as a streamer (not the dac). Also, I’m using an ifi Power X on the streamer and the ro... 
Just received my LHY Linear Power Supply
Has anyone compared the sound quality between the LHY with the Teddy Pardo? I’m in the market and just want to buy the one that’s going to produce the greatest results.   
ifi Neo Streamer
@colpgmrguy  I will admit, my weakest link is the streamer. Im using a Transparent USB from the neo to the Hermes and i2s from the Hermes to the Pontus. Then Cardas Cygnus XLRs to my amp. I think the neo as a streamer gets out of the way and I’m ... 
ifi Neo Streamer
Funny, I’ve had mine since it came out and have not had all the problems listed above. It is the only component I turn off when not using. If I do leave it on for long periods of time, before I listen I’ll turn it off and back on again. I do belie... 
Start with Upgrade to DAC?
@mdalton  Very nice to meet you sir. I greatly appreciate your response and your opinion. I never said the ifi Zen was a bad product, but looking at Mike’s setup the weakest link is the ifi Zen. I also had a Zen before upgrading to the Neo. Usi... 
Start with Upgrade to DAC?
@mike4597 - I feel you are getting a lot of bad advice. Replacing your speakers? Your speakers are amazing. I have the Fyne Audio 502SPs and love them. I am using a sub which I think adds a lot of extension. I think your weakest link is your strea... 
Vibration dampening
@boxcarman - I use roomservice equipment vibration protectors on all of my equipment. I started with my sub and the difference was night and day. The bass is so much cleaner and tighter. I highly recommend reading the science behind the EVPs.    ... 
Warm relaxed digital coax
@ghdprentice - touché may friend, touché.   
Warm relaxed digital coax
I was using a Cardas Clear coax for a few years and like it a lot but decided to try a Transparent USB. So much more detail using the USB without being harsh. If you can, I would demo both to find out which one you like best.    best of luck.
