andrewkelley - thanks for being up front. Why Sim Moon didn't want to get specific with me - who knows ? From Moon 260D transport to DAC they recommended AES/EBU and likewise ethernet for streaming. Pure silver IC, eh ? My IC from pre-amp to amp is Shindo Silver - so what you say makes sense. Thanks.
I'm sure my new Moon 780D can reveal more than what my DH Labs AES/EBU delivers it.
What an improvement over my decade-old factory-modded Wadia S7i ! !
The Moon 780D is the most transparent DAC I've heard. I'm listening for hours on end.
The DH Labs 110 Silver was serviceable for a 2009 machine, but I think this new DAC deserves now a more sumptuous feast. Sim Moon is not forthcoming with the kind of cabling they use with the 780D, even though they used the exact unit I purchased as a demo in their shows.
And I can't afford to join the 'Cable of the Month' club, switching out wires at intervals.
So I'm polling you other Moon DAC owners for your experience with AES/EBU cables and even single-ended
IC's output to a tube preamp. I'm prepared to pay for quality.
Thanks so much,
- Dr. John
