Digitalis


I admit freely that some of us here are not real cable people. Opinions vary. My beef is that its just one more variant that I have to worry about. So, what drones like myself do, is pick a good set of speaker and interconnect cables and just go back to rolling tubes and tweaking.

Until I got a hold of this digital cable.

It was the most unlikely of things. This is the last piece of equipment that I wanted to bother with or have anything to do with. This is the last piece of equipment that I though would make a difference. The monster coax that I was using between my Lite CD player and the DAC62 was suiting me just fine. Then someone borrowed it. Through serendipity, I picked up the Xindak DC-01. WOW.

Images suddenly snapped into place. Air appeared where there was not before. It gave me, do I dare say it, as big of an improvement as the Amprexes I was using. Then I became addicted. I tried it on the DAC60 Modified, then the Great March 2, then the DAC AM and the DAC AH - on each, it completely changed the sonic character and made them into new DACS.

So,I am reformed. On digital cables, that is. What a difference.

All the best,

Vic
