Yes, DecentLevi , thank you for the positive instruction about choice. Yes, many have always written that just a good USB cable from the source to the DAC does not give the maximum than the same signal through the DDC. It very much depends on the receiving USB input and a bunch of other facts...

Yes, of course, and perhaps the optical cable you presented is also good, but on their website they write that: "It is a High Order Mode signal delay that is caused by light bouncing from side to side in the core fiber. The signal spreading in 24-μm fiber is much, much lower than the single...

Thank you for your kind words. :beerchug: Sometimes it's hard to be alone because everyone doesn't understand you. Now let's get back to the music. Read reviews on Amazon about glass cable. I’ll say on my own behalf, at first it seemed to me that the low frequencies disappeared and there was...

For those who use optical cable, I can recommend a cable from Amazon Optical glass cable , which is not expensive. I bought a 3" one for $35. The play actually became more detailed, the bass was super low and not booming, everything got better. Real good cable . The same glass optical cable...

I tried a lot to improve the sound of the system. The biggest improvement, just raising the sound to another super level is my simple tweak: If your equipment has the ability to switch from AC 120V to 220V ONLY , then run a cable with two phases, as many have done but only for 120V there is a...

Hello everyone. I read that Op amp 2209 is great in sound. I have a question, can I put opamp 2209 instead of 5532? The schematic is attached. This is the denon AVR 3808 in which there is a Burr brown PCM 1791. Voltage Thank you for your help.

I listened to two Zodiac models Silver and Gold at home. The difference was small, barely perceptible, Gold played a little softer as it seemed, perhaps it was a placebo. I want to say, comparing with other DACs, the Antelope Zodiac Silver is still a cool DAC to this day. Overall, the Zodiac...

The ODIN cables have good thick silver shield over each wire, but it is passive, not grounded. It is interesting how the original ONE was wired, probably there were no fans to open the cable for tens of thousands of dollars. Something happened to the sound a long time ago on ODIN 2. Not as...

I can't keep up with all of you. All this is super interesting what you write. If the effect of the Faraday tape is more on power cables, what will happen if the all cable is covered with this tape?

Have you looked at the price of a grounding cable? This is beyond impudence, as in other things for many other audio products. Buy Chinese silver wire and you will be happy.

Who has external power supply for DAC. From my experience, the best is any silver stranded cable. It turned out that the purchased Chinese power supply had a DC silver cable. I have tried many options but DC cable has a huge impact on sound and stage. This one the best . It can be the same cover...

It would be great if there was a link to the video. My tribute. I'm a little behind on the purchases and upgrades of you all, but I can tell you how my system sounds today is hard to fault. But I have already begun to notice some touches in the music as well as in the stage that can be done...

Making a power cable like this guy, but filling in what goes into the ground box will make a cable for $ 1 million

Thanks . it fast DIY project . In my opinion, it is better to make a grounding box of copper inside , it will work as a screen and have more contact with the backfill and make the maximum amount of ground wire inside the Magnetite. Other : I would connect artificial grounding not from the...

There are many options for how to dampen micro vibrations for audio, mainly for DACs where there is a clock, for example, telescope anti-vibration pads , there are many options for little money without snake oil and feng shui appearance, but for any anti-vibration stands , pads to work fine...

Today received ODIN 2 RCA -RCA and XLR to RCA IC . The first was for the RCA test (DAC to AMPS). Honestly, one disorder, physicality disappeared, the piano became thin and not of natural size, something happened to the bass, it also decreased. Turned Argento Flow back on the physicality of the...

cdacosta The link is working. When copying, do not make spaces, not at the beginning, not at the end. Try one more time without spaces , only digits .

The well-known snake oil FLUX 50 with a Cheap filter inside. There are better ideas, put a good board that will really filter the power, clean up the block DC and keep it out of the Power. Here's what I found. There are no discussions and information about Chinese power filters on the...

And what is this glued on the board, is it an anti-vibration sticker? This is interesting because if this is the case, then you can stick it on many electrical parts inside. Where can you buy? Do our friends in the ALI store sell such tapes?

I wrote about the French guy who from the beginning described the effect of the cable on the sound, and then, under the indignation of the crowd, he retracted his words referring to April 1

Usually a kind-hearted crowd of such people is sent to the fire or to the media to be torn to pieces. It seems that on this site the dude merged himself, dumping everything on April 1 as a joke. It is difficult to swim against the current of religion and science.

Levi , Most likely this is how it should be when everything is fine, the cable should not make changes to the signal, if scientifically. Another, if changes in the signal are not heard, it means that there are too many bad things that you can’t spoil. Remove all the new things and start from the...

Lucky. I do not regret that I bought it without foil because I did experiments with shielding and grounding and with a passive shield and I want to understand simple things about magnetic fields that carry information, how best for them to travel with maximum information and what needs to be...

ODIN gold with gold film not foil works like Valhalla, the difference is that gold or silver have passive shielding, which at least somehow protects against external interference and has no grounding on both side. What better science can not answer.

I disassembled the both cables and checked with a tester. On ODIN 2, a good thick, dense foil look like silver plated , GOLD has just a golden film. ODIN GOLD from YTERAUDIO Store
