聖HIJIRI Users thread
Based on a discussion with another forum member, I've been reading up on this Comback Corporation brand. The reviews I've found have been pretty positive, but I've also learned over the years to take all reviews with a grain of salt. So the purpose of this thread is for users to share their input on 聖HIJIRI cables. When you share, if you'd discuss what model of HIJIRI you demoed and what brands/models they were compared to, that'd be very helpful.
A little background: a few years ago I was reading the Audio Envy threads and decided to give them a try as the seemed to compete with much higher-priced cable. So I decided to give AE a try. I found both the $179 P2 and the $279 M3 to easily best an Isotek power cord at $1k. So that got me thinking even more about value products. I was about to give Zavfino a try and then was given another recommendation to give HIJIRI a try. So this is how I got here. I'll be very interested to hear all user comments on HIJIRI and this should be a good repository for the brand.
Here is their website: www.combak.net

Hi everyone, proud full Hijiri loomer here. My Lumin U2 and Denafrips Pontus 15th are connected with Hijiri HDG-X Million AES/EBU digital cable. Recently, I tried an AudioQuest Carbon USB cable and was surprised to hear a clear improvement. There’s more detail, a wider soundstage and tighter, more articulate bass. Wondering about your experiences. What differences have you noticed when comparing Hijiri digital to USB cables? To great sound! |
@radical-squared I don’t have the Lumin nor either brand of cables, but since you are using 2 different cable types I wonder if some of what your are hearing is if the USB is the connection Lumin optimized. Do you know if any connection on it has been optimized? I am asking that as I discovered via communication with SimAudio that the AES/EBU is the optimized connection on my 260DT transport. The SQ improvement was obvious when I switched from SPDIF RCA |
“What differences have you noticed when comparing Hijiri digital to USB cables?” There isn’t a direct comparison to be made, as Combak (Hijiri) does not offer a USB cable. Any differences heard may instead relate to how the source component such as Lumin or Denafrips DAC implements and optimizes its USB output stage over SPDIF rather than to a cable comparison itself. |
@facten It might be the case, as there’s a dedicated USB to DAC port on the U2, that Lumin highlights in their marketing materials, so there may indeed be something to it. Thanks for the hint. I’ll try to reach out to both Lumin and Denafrips to learn more. |
