Cypher Labs Algorhythm Duet

The CLAS stack is still a very good setup but it's largely overshadowed by the newer components like Hugo & Flow.


I think the  Cypher Labs db DAC and Duet amp both running fully balanced sounds better than the Hugo having heard the Hugo with HD800's and LCD3's and I am a big Chord Electronics fan !

That's a mighty big statement!

I have never heard the Hugo however I wouldn't have a hard time believing it.

The CLAS Stack definitely is top shelf in terms of both build and sound quality, it surpasses anything I have previously owned. I can't remember ever enjoying music this much.

I must say as great as the Duet and the HD650 sound single ended, it sounds even better balanced.  I unsuccessfully tried to upgrade my stock hd650 cable and ended up purchasing a silver plated copper kobiconn balanced cable from Ted.  Completely floored by the sound, I suspect it is more to do with the fact that I am balanced and have additional power than because of the silver plated copper.  The cable however is great, I only wish that the outer sheathing was black, I will get used to the tan though :(
 
Dire Straits has never sounded so f'n good, time to re-discover all of my redbooks!  Kudos to David at Cypher Labs and also Ted at headphone lounge!
