I second the above. In my highly-resolving system (VA Parsifal Encores and Aleph P+2s) my RD revII provide a very open window, which of course extends to any etched, grainy treble of digital sources.
This has been somewhat ameliorated by proper isolation/absorption of the CDP (Neuance platform).
Original Red Dawn equals 14AWG, revII=13AWG, so I wouldn't use very long runs into low impedence loads.
Otherwise enjoy what these lightning bolts can offer!
On a similar note: I'm also using RD on the CDP IC, and now have Harmonic Tech Pro-Silway Mk II wired up in parallel, allowing instant comparisons via my pre input remote.
Under NO circumstances can ANYONE perceive a difference between the RD and the HT! Perhaps silver with clean copper can sound identical, despite wildly differing geometries.... Good Luck. Ernie
