I don't recommend exotic cords. I recommend the cord that works best for the equipment being used. In some cases, the stock cord is it. If an aftermarket one happens to work better then it will get my recommendation, and I have tried enough cords "exotic" or otherwise to know if they will make a difference.
By trying so many different cords on Kingwa's gear, I can tell you that he has spent a lot of time getting his equipment to sound pretty damn good with what it comes with stock.

The only exotic cable I'll buy for sure (if I decide going for a balanced DAC/amp combo like the Phoenix / Ref-1) would be balanced after market cables for the HD800. |
