| Tuneful Cables by High-End Audio @lubachl Can anyone comment on their experience with Chinese "Odin" interconnect cables in comparison to those described above. I have two sets of these connecting DAC to Pre and Pre to Amp. They replaced Belden 1800F (BJC). I cannot say I no... | |
| Have you upgraded from a Freya? Trigger pulled. I shall report back. | |
| Have you upgraded from a Freya? @yyzsantabarbara Thanks, it sounds like the LA4 is what I am looking for and I will take the next step. | |
| Have you upgraded from a Freya? @chenry Agreed the ergonomics are not so great on the Freya. I have "enhanced" the volume knob so that I can see the setting from more than a couple feet away. I tend to have mine on all day and use the buffered mode for that reason. The temperatu... | |
| Have you upgraded from a Freya? @dain Thanks! I will check that one out. I only have a single source as well, but as we know a good preamp makes all the difference. | |

| Am I broken? Am I stuck? Do I have to return my audiophile card now? Do it. You will hate yourself if you pass this up. | |
| What's Up? The CD player and cable seem pretty decent. Nothing against the Border Patrol, I have not heard one, but I agree with @jjss49 that you could try another DAC. The preamp has a lot to do with imaging and soundstage, you might try a different preamp ... | |

| XLR cable recommendations needed Zavfino offers a blended silver and OCC copper cable: https://zavfinousa.com/products/the-fusion-solid-pure-silver-occ-copper-hybrid-rca?variant=19443396116598 haven’t tried them, but might be worth a look. | |
| Heresy IV vs Zu DW6/Soul mk2 I played a lot of Dead on my Heresy II’s, they present live music very well. Need to Add a sub to get all of Phil. Haven’t heard the Zu speakers, but being high sensitivity I am guessing they play live music well. | |
| Digital front end upgrade options If you are looking for a significant upgrade in sound quality, I think you might be underwhelmed with the Node. I have one I use as an emergency spare, it is okay and the user interface is great, but I would put it in the mid-fi category. | |
