Interconnect recommendations

I guess whoever feeds info to ChatGPT isn't aware that interconnects make no objective difference in a stereo's sound. 

I tried AU24SX and FrontRow XLRs. Didn’t like them and this is despite running FrontRow speaker cables. These interconnects just don’t sound right to me. My Nordost Tyr 2 XLRs couldn’t be beat. I can’t recommend these Audience XLRs. 
I would be curious to try Transparent and Cardas. Kimber should be good the all copper version. 
@signaforce if I were you I would add Nordost Tyr 2 to the list but be warned these are fast sounding cables and with qutest, moon and kef you may be walking a thin line. I still think upgrading to a fully balanced dac and going all XLR would be the best option. You should be able to find a DAC with a small footprint to fit in your component rack. Qutest is ok but there’s more to have with a better DAC than the cable upgrade can offer. 

@roadcykler AI leverages models trained using historical data. This data is collected from various sources. The nonsense you’re spewing is somewhere in there as well. It’s just not being considered for a final answer because it’s not in there in quantities significant enough to change the response. That’s simply because your information is not accurate. 

Thank you everyone. DAC first, then cables, excellent recommendations on both fronts. Unfortunately, you are all correct the Chord DAVE is out. 

@emergingsoul Excellent example of chatGPT capabilities..

If considering a DAC upgrade, look into the new version Denafrips Terminator 15th. It is a very organic DAC. The Absolute Sound gave a it a very good review on Youtube. For many, including myself, it can be your endgame DAC. Good luck with your refinement process.
