another approach, you use 3 separate cable brands, Chord and Nordost are on the lean "cold" side, either make it full Cardas or use one Stealth Nanofiber or of course change DAC, but maybe with the same results.
DAC to add warmth and fullness to Linn Ikemi
Hi All,
This has been asked before, but perhaps I can get suggestions that include more recent DAC models?
The Ikemi can be absolutely superb, but I'm just curious that I might be missing out on a bit of warmth and fullness. I reckon that the Ikemi would serve as a top rate transport!
I have no experience with external DACs, so I'm wondering what I should expect the current models available up to about £1000 (I'm in the UK).
Linn Ikemi
Music First Pre (Copper)
Bel Canto S300
Lumley Lampros 100
Cardas Golden Hexlink 5C (XLR) CD - Pre
Chord Anthem (XLR) Pre - Power
Nordost Blue Heaven speaker cables
