What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound?
The first power cord that made a significant improvement for me is the Shunyata Venom V10 NR.  To my ears, it sounds best on my DAC.  A few years later I purchased a Shunyata Delta  V2 NR. Wow, that was an even greater improvement in clarity and  ... 
Question about Shunyata Power Conditioners
I am a big fan of Shunyata Research products. Years ago, I purchased Sidewinder Gold and Venom Zitron power cords. My system at the time was not very revealing and the cords made little difference to my ears. In 2019 after several upgrades, I purc... 
KLE changes
i just installed a set of Perfect Harmony sockets in my modified PassLabs B1 preamp. They replaced a set of WBT Nex Gen copper sockets. Wow, I immediately heard more bass and greater clarity. Even my wife in another room noticed more clarity and m... 
I Had a Chance to Finally Demo the Black Cat Digit-75
Hi,I was using a Black Cat Veloce with my new Schiit Bifrost 2 Dac. It easily trounced Unison USB and other digital cables; some many times more expensive than the Veloce. Sound was more transparent, natural and 3D with the Veloce. Based on the th... 
I Had a Chance to Finally Demo the Black Cat Digit-75
Has anyone compared the Black Cat 75 to the Black Cat 75 Mk II? 
Is it worth adding a Schiit Audio Eitr?
I bought an Eitr in August for my car stereo. I tested it in my “big rig” and never took it out. I have planar speakers that typically do not have pinpoinf imaging. With the Eitr, the instruments were in tight focus. Some of my recordings now soun... 
iPod/ITouch direct digital connection to a DAC
I use the Apple camera connection kit to output digital from an ipad/iphone to my Schiit Modi Multibit in my car. The output of the dac goes into the auxiliary input in my car. I use the Onkyo HF Player iOS app to play high res files. The Onkyo HF... 
M2Tech hiFace192 + Theta Gen Va synergy?
I agree that old Theta Digital DACs are still awesome when fed a low jitter source. I am using an iMac optical output, Wireworld Supernova, Assemblage D2D-1, three Twisted Pear Design S/PDIF transceivers in series (jitter filters) into a Theta Pro... 
warm digital cable
I purchased two Veloce cables and they are excellent. I then bought a Sterolab XV-Ultra which is even better. However, the best sp/pdif cable I have ever used is from WyWires. Very natrual sounding, dead quiet background, three dimensional imaging... 
Bryston BDP-1 Own one? What DAC are you using?
In my system I greatly prefer S/PDIF BNC cables over AES/EBU. I recently purchased a LITESPD Digital Interface cable with BNCs from WyWires that has transformed my system. Music is so natural and three dimensional. I am now transported to a concer... 
DAC and Jitter box question.........
IMHO you need the DIP! I have a Theta Pro Basic IIIA in my car along with 8 Theta TLC jitter filters followed by a DIP MK II and then an Assemblage UJB-1 filter. All of the jitter filters are hardwired (no RCA or BNC connectors) using Illuminati O... 
Does length matter with Toslink cables
I use the Supernovs 5+. It is better than the 3+. I have not heard the VanDen Hul. 
Musical Fidelity kw dm25 Transport & DAC
I heard these at a local dealer. They were hooked up to a system using Thiel speakers. The sound was very good. I did not compare them to other dacs or cd players. I read a review of this combo and the reviewer could not detect any differences bet...
