Essence®gZero10 Interconnect cables single ended
Yping, if you opt for the 10's and want another use for the gZero6's - try them as a digital link!I got to thinking about what KL had said about using the Copper Harmony for this purpose.The issue with using normal RCA for spdif is their impedance...

Yping - the 10's are definitely better than the 6's in my system and probably more so if they are used with higher resolution components.My problem is - I a bit too pragmatic and frugal for this hobby. - I DIY most stuff because it saves me $$$. -...

yPing - did you audition the 10's in your system?I've auditioned the 10's in mine and they sound really nice, but they are a little pricey for my taste, so I've opted to stay with the 6's - for now :-)My hi-fi budget is limited and I have another ... 
Schiit USB Gen 2 Upgrade for Bifrost & Gungnir
Yesterday's comments were made after listening to the new USB upgrade after about 1 hour after powering the DAC up post installation - I really should have known better :-)Overnight, this upgrade has gone from being "a moderate success", to the be... 
Schiit USB Gen 2 Upgrade for Bifrost & Gungnir
I've just installed the board and it's playing as I type :-)Installation of the board was easy - undo all the visible screws and slide out the chassis- undo the two screws holding the USB board and lift vertically- insert the new board and replace...

Yping - I've only developed my "keen ear" in the last few years.That process required lots of listening to many varied tracks. Over that time I have singled out tracks that are excellent for discerning changes in the various "metrics"E.g....- bass... 
Schiit USB Gen 2 Upgrade for Bifrost & Gungnir
Since it does not appear that anyone has experienced this upgrade yet, I decided to take the plunge and purchase one for my Bifrost that has the older USB board.To be honest - I have not experienced anything bad with the existing USB board, but th...

Wyred 4 Sound W4S DAC-2 DSD
One thing you might want to look into is whether the W4S uses power from the computers USB port - many DACS take this approach.I found a dual USB cable where one cable handles just data and a second just power - they are joined at the DACs usb plu...
