| Updated Okto DAC 8 Stereo firmware and now I have DSD issues I heard from Pavel. I am going to try to address this with him. | |
| Updated Okto DAC 8 Stereo firmware and now I have DSD issues Yes, @milpai . I did, several days before my post. Didn’t get a response after a week, so I have pinged Okto again. Now, I am crossing my fingers. | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling That was supposed to be a WTB ad, not WY. Damned autocorrection! | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling I posted a WY ad looking for Acoustic BBQ Helix XLR cables: https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisb7176-wtb-acoustic-bbq-helix-xlr-interconnects While I prefer Acoustic BBQ branded products because Bill's workmanship and quality control are top n... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @pindac .Thanks. Unfortunately, it appears they only use RCA connectors and I can use only XLR’s with my DAC and amp. | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling I didn’t read all the way through this thread but my interest is piqued. I note that the posters here are DIY constructors making these cables for personal use, but are there any commercial manufacturers of cables with this geometry? I know that... | |
| Sweet Sounding DAC In this price range with this form factor, I second the recommendation of the Wyred 4 Sound 10th Anniversary, especially if you actually listen to your components instead of just measure their specs. (ASR has no love for W4S products.) I now am u... | |
| WBT Banana Connectors My experiences with the KLEI Classics is the same as several others’ here: they simply are too fragile to use with any long or thick cable, period. I use a 5m speaker cable pair and have my amp at chest level in a cabinet on the side wall of my l... | |
| Only two tracks to test your system, forever! "Never Mind" by Airto Moreira, from "The Killer B’s." "Prologue" by Aaron Diehl from "The Bespoke Man’s Narrative." Bonus, and probably a better test of more things than the previous two individual tracks: Side one of Terumasa Hino’s "Hogiuta," ... | |
| Banana plug recommendations Thanks, gents. As I mentioned above, I am having the cables reterminated with plugs that Bill Dion recommended, so my ship has sailed. @audphile1 , the cables aren’t directional, but the banana receptacles on the speaker binding posts are being u... | |
| Banana plug recommendations @kmitch12 , that is a brilliant suggestion and I wish it had occurred to me before placing an order for these plugs, which Bill Dion recommended. I trust Bill's ears completely, so I went with that recommendation. The KLEI's may well sound "bett... | |
| Banana plug recommendations Thank you, @erik_squires . | |
| Cost effective power cables recommendations, low and high power Cullen Cables have worked for me and I never have paid more than $130 for any of the several that I am using in three systems. Also, +1 on the somewhat misleadingly named Counterfeit Chinese Cables thread. There are some Chinese non-counterfeit c... | |
| What cables to use. You might want to raise this question in the Digital forum rather than Cables. You are asking which digital topography you should use in a particular application rather than which brand of cable is best for that application. Come back to this fo... | |
| What cables play nicely with Acoustic BBQ? @lak, yes, I need XLR's. |
