May very well be the exact same wire

$100 not bad, but still alot for a ethernet cable - CAT7 is shielded  - so far the UTP seems to sound better.

The Audiophonics cable is very cheap, connectors only are $25 each......
 
And, about using the shield, connecting it at SOURCE side ONLY, which is a common thing to do, makes it a UTP with earth shield WITHOUT having degradation from coupling ground

P.S.
Inside it may very well be the exact same wire

P.S2.
and some cool looking xlr/rca cables http://www.in-akustik.com/en/news/article/referenz-nf-2404/

The In-Akustik's looking GREAT. Air as a dielectric still is the best, wasn't aware of their existence, could be a real killer, just my 2 cents..... 
 
XLR 2x 0.75m €1.299
RCA 2x 0.75m €1.199

Has anyone tried the new ifi Nano usb 3.0? Thinking about getting that one instead of the W4S Recovery+ 9v ipower.

I have the iFi USB2.0 + the iPurifier2 + the 9VDC iPower.  According to iFi that's pretty much the iUSB 3.0 (minus two additional ports and the USB3.0 plugin).
 
It's very good - I would say the Recovery + a 9VDC iPower is slightly better.  In fact I need to sell my iUSB2.0
 
Now the Recovery fed by a LPS and using a iPur2 is definitely better - but that is more money.
 
I think either way a good power solution for the F-1
 
Good Luck

Yup. For the uninitiated and the tragically unhip, that's a PUC 2 Lite on the down low and an F-1 riding it bareback.

Ohhhhhhhh -- Child! IT'S ON like Donkey Kong up in here!!!!

rb- your reputation has all come down to.....

Sounds like a very interesting comparison. Dont forget to post it :)

abartels only linked those inakustik things for the cool looks .. otherwise I wont pay $1000 for a wire. Especially one full of air :wink:
And btw, they do have another (much cheaper) 'air' series. http://www.in-akustik.de/en/cables-and-accessories/speaker-cable/excellence/exzellenz-atmos-air-0060222/

Hi ! i have a question
i see that both the PUC2 Lite and F-1 are usb powered
how do you power the two interfaces mentioned ?
if you intend to make a review please list also the other elements of the chain (i.e. isolators, reclockers, power supplies, etc.).
Thanks and regards,  gino

A 1.299 euros cable for a 300$ box ?
not a bit of overkill ? :)
 
Chinese guys are not making amazing cables are ridiculously price ?
They discounted all the gear, what about the cables ?

I know, I won't pay that too, but for the people who can spend that kind of money on cables, it surely could be interesting

What box? Who's talking about a box? A golden box, to transport the cables??
 
Just kidding, no, of course not, those are interconnects, meant for ALL your XLR or RCA devices, not only for the $300 box 
biggrin.gif

 
Those are cables, and in my opinion they COULD be one of the VERY best, so, if interested, take a look, or read reviews, and if wanna buy them, buy them, if not interested, just ignore the post, ok?
 
 
Keep up the good work guys

Hi ... and if it were full of nitrogen against oxidation ?
Seriously, teflon foam for instance is a very good dieletric.
There are many cables with teflon insulation that sound excellent.

yes, and air still is the best Gino, that's why I reposted prot's link.
 
Please forget it, NO cable wars here. I already regret posting it.

I was saying a box for the DDC.
making fun of using a 1300E cable to connect to a 300$ DDC.
