What is the most important cable in your system


Let say I have two high end cables but one is even higher end , is it best to put the higher end cable between the dac and the processor or the cable between the processor and the amp ?

The only factual answer is the last cable you connect is the most important because without it your system won't work.

I can't really provide any useful advice other than if you have two sets, then put them in one way and listen for several weeks and then swap them around.  You'll either notice a difference or you won't.  If it doesn't make an obvious different then don't worry about it.  If you have to swap them back and forth to form a preference, then it must not make a significant difference.

I think the #1 reason to have an integrated amplifier is that it eliminates a set of cables!  I am fortunate to only have one digital connection and one analog connection in my system.

The most important cable in MY system is the one that feed electricity to my home.

I have a dedicated spur and use a whole range of power cleaning equipment from Acoustic Revive, Akiko Audio, Furutech,Isotek et al. AddPowr was the latest addition. It made a major contribution in what I‘d like to describe of the flow of the music. Wverything is more organic and immediate.

@audphile1 You nailed it. 

But then there’s a beotch called synergy. So best is to try and determine by ear.
