I'm sorry, I can't tell if this was a compliment, or a negative comment...
All my Double Helix Cables used with sources.
I used to use NuForce Icon, which is now used with my John Blue JB3 speakers or connected to my SubPac S2 for gaming/video use (using either Xbox One or PS4).
For music I used to use iPod Classic 160GB connected to CEntrance HiFi-M8.
I also had on a long term demo iFi Audio Retro Stereo 50, but eventually returned that back, and went back to iPod + HiFi-M8.
Currently I know use Onkyo DP-X1 predominantly for all music listening.
So any headphones I use are connected to the DP-X1 via Double Helix Cables:
- Molecule Elite Fusion 4-Wire balanced cable for Audeze EL-8 Titanium
- Molecule Symbiote SP Fusion 8-Wire balanced for Heir Audio 4.Ai IEM's
- Molecule Prototype copper only for AKG K 712 headphones
Each one is used with my DP-X1, with the first two used in balanced mode.
My new EL-8 cable, Molecule Elite 22 OCC Silver Litz 4-Wire balanced, will also be used with DP-X1.
When the Cavalli Audio Carbon amp arrives around September, I'll have a unique setup:
- Onkyo DP-X1 in Active Control Ground mode, max volume (unity gain, or 0 dB)
- DHC Molecule Elite 22 OCC Silver 2.5 mm to dual 3-Pin XLR interconnect. This will connect DP-X1 into...
- Cavalli Audio Carbon amp
- DHC ultrashort 2.5 mm to 4-Pin XLR adapter
- Any 2.5 mm balanced DHC cable I use with two of my the major headphones
