Power cord choice?
Well, what can I say, you tried, power cords did nothing for you. I am surprised, but it is what it is. We all hear (or don’t) differently. It appears you appreciate the cables in general. I used to own XLO (Signature and Reference) many years ago...

@grannyring  --- does the new Innuos 2.0 Sense work with Innuos as a server only, or server + streamer, when connected directly to DAC via USB? Sorry, I no longer have any Innuos to try.In other words, would it work with a separate DAC that has a ...

@mahgister: as they say, there are a thousand ways to skin a cat. We are all adults, and can spend our money how we see fit. There is absolutely no right or wrong with any approach.

What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire?
