Cables & streamers


Cables matter.  I just reconfigured my system to allow for xlr connection instead of rca. Also inserted ps audio integrated to replace battery power 60 watt 5 amp amp,Music was great / engaging before, definitely more depth and tighter/ deeper/ clearer with xlr. Still has body, not fatigued.  Just more controlled energy and 3d dimensionality.  It’s not all the amp, it does help but its not the whole story.  The red wine amp isnt going anywhere, its pretty great within limits.  There r aspects with Maggy .6 that I prefer it for. The xlr cable is Heimdal.  Modwright oppo dac that the manual states xlr sounds better.  Just didn’t have the opportunity to test it out.

Not surprising.  Seems like many/most DAC’s are balanced and sound better with XLR cables.

How long are the XLR cables? You have a manual that says that XLR sound better? Under what circumstances?
