Appropriate interconnects from Ayre QB-9 To WA 6 SE?

[indydieselnut]

I love the Blue Jeans Cables LC-1 interconnects. I recently dropped some change on Nordost Heimdall ICs because they made an audible difference in my system.

If you want to pay shipping I'd be happy to send you a pair of the BJC LC-1's to try...they might be all you ever need. I have quite a few pair laying around.

I'm using Cardas Golden Reference interconnects, speaker, and power cables in my system with a QB-9. Sounds good to me.

Very nice! When did you get your QB-9, I'm still waiting for a call telling me mine is available for pickup. Any preliminary thoughts on the QB-9 itself? Have you tried other dacs before and noticed a difference? Perhaps the Cosecant, brick, crimson, or DAC1?

I just noticed the price of Cardas Golden Reference IC's... I'm going to have to stay away from those at first. But I'll keep those in mind as my budget and belief expand.

I purchased my QB-9 from Optimal Enchantments in Santa Monica, CA on 5/5/2009. I had talked to the dealer beforehand and arranged for him to call me as soon as the first one came in (which he did...I got it about one hour after it arrived). He had another in stock when I was there...

Initial impressions with this DAC aren't very valuable, in my opinion, because it improves dramatically with break-in (based on just 2 days of using it). Nevertheless, you can read some of my early impressions here (along with a reply from the head guy at Ayre, who worked on the QB-9 himself).
