Hello, @maprik ! I like to compare new things to a standard. I already have. I find it much easier to change one thing at a time and simply evaluate whether it’s better or worse. Once you go changing more than one thing at a time you can get a headache real fast! Do you have a cable you’re used to hearing?
How do you compare components?
I’m going to be comparing HDMI cables for the I²S connection between a Denafrips Iris and Pontus 2. ALL are certified 8K Ultra High 2.1. A $6, $47, $72 and $150. My thought is to start with the cheapest and work my way up, giving each a few days to settle in. Is that the best way to go about it? Or start with the most expensive and work down in order to hear if there’s a degradation?

@fastfreight I am adding a Denafrips Iris between my Node N130 and the Denafrips Pontus 2, that I love. So both the Iris AND the I²S cable will be new. So, what would you do? Start with the lowest or the highest? |
