Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.

I think the Spring KTE and May KTE are close to end game, hence my question. I tested the Accuphase DC-1000 a few weeks ago, and all I can say is Accuphase have not sorted out their USB input. Please share your thoughts on the Holo Red. I'm currently using the SOtM Ultra stack (streamer, usb...

Could you comment on the blackness levels between the Spring 3 KTE and the May KTE. I have heard the Spring 2 and May Level 2 on youtube, same system and songs; and it was clear the May had better separation, decay and blackness. However, this was the Spring 2 and not the Spring 3 KTE. Do you...

I have no experience with the Anni. I think the main thing is the Qutest has a refined tone with a touch of sweetness. Would highly recommend HQPlayer for upsampling with Roon for its UI. So many people look for resolution without understanding that tone is what makes a dac. I'd rather have an...

Have a read on the Audio Bacon site for linear power supplies, it lines up with my experience. I'm currently using an Uptone LPS 1.2 which is a refined sounding power supply; if I switch to the JS-2 the Qutest is (too) energetic. If I were to get another LPS for the Qutest, I'd look to...

Everything has an affect on the system. I've switched out just one Oyaide GPX R V2 power cable with Platinum + Palladium plated connectors with an Oyaide low price cable with standard Panasonic connectors, and the change in soundstage and tone was dramatic. Here's an interesting video comparing...

Sony makes killer products, the 7506 and 900ST are classics and main-stays. Wish I picked up a pair of Sony r10 and Qualia 010 back in the day. I think the ex1000 will be the same.

EX-1000 is mid-fi and has resolution issues? This is something I cannot agree with. Have a listen to Velvet Rope by Janet Jackson, I don't hear this level of detail with other iems. The fit as others have mentioned is an acquired taste.

I've had Oyaide custom-make DC power cables from FTVS-910 at their Akihabara store in Tokyo. There's definitely an improvement with a cleaner sound. Like all things it's cumulative. One of the largest improvements was Stefan AudioArt RCA interconnects, they open up the sound immensely. Wish...

I've been down the cable route across power, usb, speaker, interconnect and ethernet. Even if you get the perfect cable set-up, as soon as you introduce another cable it will change the sound of your system. Start with a superb quality power cable. I recommend the Oyaide TUNAMI GPX – R V2. It's...

better choice.

007 Mk2. I have the BHSE with miniwatt EL34s. I have to brighten mine up with the Stax silver plated extension cord, I think it's the same one in your 009. Before you spend any dollars on a new headphone, have you tried HQplayer? It might given the a significant lift in sound quality for very...

Yes the SOtM Cat 7 is very good. I like pairing the light grey and black SOtM ethernet cables with the Supra Cat 8 via the Baaske. The dark grey SOtM is only good if your system is bright. A very good power cable is the Oyaide Tunami GPX-R V2. Punches way above its weight. The plug use...

I have the Pink Faun. Didn't do much in my system I've found the Baaske MI-1005 and SOtM isolators to work very well. Baaske in particular are superb value.

Their ribbon RCA interconnects are the best I've heard at any price point.
