Veritas Cables a new brand that I found
@samureyex How is it going now that you probably have more hours on the cables? I had fun reading your updates for the initial hours, seems maybe things have tapered off or finished burning for the most part? @nwres I may have missed it but what ... 
Final Touch Sinope USB?
Agreed with the above, I've loved every Audience cable I've ever tried. Haven't heard the Reserve USB yet but you really can't go wrong with Audience as a general rule.  
Final Touch Sinope USB?
I have a friend who recommends the Final Touch cables, he has several of them including the Callisto USB and ranks them highly. I had been considering trying them out but then got side tracked with Veritas Cables instead. They sound great in my sy...

@westcoastaudiophile So many of your post history is just you bickering with people about cables. Doesn't that get old? Please recognize that we are already the weird ones in this hobby. Most other people think we are all crazy for spending more t... 
Gustard A26
@audphile1 Haha I agree, total glutton for punishment I guess. In my defense this was over the course of maybe 5 years, so trying one every 12-18 months is not so bad. Also in context I tried quite a few other DACs during that time frame, ranging ...

Tidal and Qobuz playback
I use both and rarely have problems at home. On the go is another matter. Tidal app on both iPhone and Pixel devices is rock solid. Qobuz on the other hand, all sorts of issues. I quit using it for over a year, came back recently to see if it was ...

Gustard A26
I've tried a few Gustard DACs over the years, including the A26 recently. They all seemed nice but had some sort of major bug or malfunction to where each one got returned. One was DOA and its replacement had major issues too. I don't know if I'm ... 
Auralic Aries G2.1 or Innuos Zenith mk3
Pretty sure the question was about two specific products by Auralic and Innuos. Not 432evo, despite the dealer bringing that brand up again.  Anyway back on topic, I compared these exact two products (among many others) a few years ago and my cho... 
FYI: Aurender A15 and A200 Models Are Now ROON Ready
Yes I wrote a snarky reply earlier that got nuked so I apologize. But it seems like some people like to bring up unrelated topics or products very frequently, so I got frustrated with that. I'll leave that alone though. Glad to hear that Aurender... 
Do speakers need to be re-broken in?
My thought is that if break in or burn in was ever going to be a real thing (in my experience it is, some people disagree) then speakers is the most obvious place we would experience it. Headphones too but that's the same concept.   
Veritas Cables a new brand that I found
I just picked up another Praesto power cable. Going to slowly replace my ancient power cables one at a time. I would have loved to just do the whole lot at once but holiday deals have got the best of me, I better slow down.   
Luxman JPA15000 power cord?
I would assume those found on ebay are fakes. I can't find much info about this particular power cable or what the MSRP is. So it's hard to be sure. But fake cables are everywhere.  
Veritas Cables a new brand that I found
@samureyex Thank you again for updates, I have to agree about the "musicality" for lack of a better word. It's a great balance between resolution and listenability that not many cables can manage.  @tump350 They told me the same thing when I aske...
