I have a nimak usb purple for sale if any interest...

You should tell you are upgrading to another Nimak! I have a Purple too, it performs very well. Waiting for another acss 5 to come in, along with an x18 power cable, which is the size of a big snake.

I am not upgrading to a new nimak. I am going in a different direction.

Ah excuse my assumption.

Well, I was looking into the new nimak but decided against it.

Nothing to excuse. Fred, you are a wonderful headfier who has shared much with all of us.

Thanks. So what are you up to? You won't need a usb cable anymore?

As for me, i decided to take a chance on the top spec of this 10M clock:

Thanks to @emeeve for pointing this website to me. Adrian, the guy at Afterdark, is based in HK and speaks excellent English and is very nice to deal with. He will customize the 3 outputs to square, and two of them to 50ohm. If all goes smoothly, i should get it within the next 2 weeks.

I bought a sablon 2020 usb. I love nimak cables but the owner does not offer an audition and I need the option to return. I bought the sablon with a trial period and was shocked. More transparent, more detail, more natural. Less full sounding than nimak purple, but to my ears more CLEARLY more correct.

I can't listen to the nimak anymore..

Nice to know. I will stick to the purple for quite a while though. It's the best i have tried so far. Can't complain much, i have awesome sound quality pretty much everyday of the week.

Still on the fence about whether or not a DI20 will do anything fo my r27( 2021 model) but wondering if there's any easy ways to setup the DI20 to burn in?

Do you need a source and output connected or is a source enough, just leave it connected to a old pc playing music 24/7.

Thankyou

Ask Kingwa. I doubt so unless you use an external clock, which brings a small updrade.

The method you describe for burn-in will work but the outputs will then need 48-72h to work optimally.

The di20he is a safer bet to get an upgrade. It makes the sound more bassy and organic.

I have the Sablon 2020 USB and like it very much together with Zenith 3 and DI-20HE.

The Nimak is definitely fuller, more impactful as well. The sablon is leaner, more transparent, more natural, arier.

If one wants more slam and body, nimak purple is superb. For the more complete dissapearing act, although still not 100%, the sablon is more "not there."

I have the Phasure Audio Lush^2. Its a fine cable with a very full and rich sound. After geting and comparing with the Sablon 2020 USB I could not go back. My Sablon is not lean nor does it lack impact.
