You must be kidding! I have both Dave and Hugo 2 and even though both are great on their own, I know how much better Dave sounds.

OT: Do you consider a headphone amp (relatively low current draw, say 3A) in the amps category, hence would you plug it in an “unfiltered” plug?also look into a regenerator for all your equipment except your power amps
Hello guys, which power cable are you using with the DAVE?
I am currently using a fair budget cable (http://www.ricable.com/hi-end-power.html), combined with this power distributor http://www.systemsandmagic.com/index_file/eight.htm, and I am wondering about the potential sound quality improvements from stepping up to a higher end power cable in the 400-600Euro price range (I am open to 2nd hand ones, too).
I have no plans for a power regenerator at the moment, as the very good ones are much above my budget right now, and my current priority is keep saving for a Blu2 or a standalone M-Scaler if and when it will come out. Also, my mains line seems not too bad, at least by judging from sound quality variations from busy daily hours to deep night performance.Still, I am interested in other's experiences about feeding the DAVE with a high-end power cord.
I would prefer a slightly warm-ish signature (if that applies to power cables), as I occasionally suffer from vocals sibilance with my Abyss Phi headphones driven straight out of the DAVE.
Finally, would you recommend a power cable designed specifically for digital sources for the DAVE used as DAC + amp?
Ok guys so I am getting close to decide to buy Dave over HugoTT/2 since people tried and I wouldn't want to regret making a Midway decison. Also, Rob Watts mentioned that there is no Dave2 coming for the next two years.
The wait time is 6 weeks and costs $8200 with vat. What do you guys think?

Try Pangea AC 14se II ‘s better than expensive power cords reasonably priced. also look into a regenerator for all your equipment except your power amps PS audio p5 or a used powerplant premiere (about $1000 used)

On a PS audio powerplant all outlets are isolated and regenerated there are enough outlets for each piece of equipmentOT: Do you consider a headphone amp (relatively low current draw, say 3A) in the amps category, hence would you plug it in an “unfiltered” plug?
Or together with the DAC and other sources in a filtered one?
Nope a headphone amp is fine for any of the small regeneratorsNot sure what qualifies as a power amp. Would my Mjolnir Audio Pure BiPolar headphone amp be considered a power amp? If so, why do you say not to plug a power amp into the P5 Power Plant?
So help the guy out and post your numbers! Same scale 0-100 100 being live music. Easy to trash some ones post but you guys don’t take the time to help the poster?You must be kidding! I have both Dave and Hugo 2 and even though both are great on their own, I know how much better Dave sounds.
