I can’t see the ref+ on their website. Is it 2x price of ref cable?

 

[mitchb]

The Ref + is still just about to be released on the Danacable website. The cable will be priced between the Reference and the Ultra.

In a summaru; more or less $1400-1500.
A friend of mine has a Nirvana on a MySphere, it is a real bliss.
Anyway, it hasn't been possible for me to buy a Lazzuli (and dangerous : impossible to listen to it before) so I'll manage to find an alternative (even if I'm not sure there's an alternative to the Nirvana).

I’m using a new Nirvana on an LCD-XC while I wait the return of my LCD4’s from repair. It is a gorgeous cable with only 10 hours play on them. They keep getting better and better. When my LCD4 headphones return I will have a Nirvana on them, a Reference Plus on my LCD-XC’s and a Reference on my Utopia headphones. I guess I am a fan of Danacable cables

The Nirvana with a week or more play is sounding nice on a new pair of LCDX headphones as I wait for the return of my LCD4’s. The LCDX and LCDXC headphones sound really nice with the Reference Plus cable but the Nirvana is just more of that nice. I am expecting an Ultra cable later today which from what I am hearing may be the sweet spot in the Lazuli line being in between the Reference Plus and the Nirvana. My experience so far shows me that all of the cables in the Lazuli line are beautiful.

I'm jealous : you keep having access to all Danacable and I can even buy one

Hello Mitch ? Any sweet spot ? May be there are two : the Reference and the Ultra. Take care Cheers

 

[mitchb]

All of the Danacable are nice. The Ultra would probably be the sweet spot but the Reference is awesome sounding also. The bigger the Danacable the more of the house sound but I was hooked from my first Reference cable. As well different Lazuli’s will match with different headphones in different systems. The cables are headphones and system dependant. The Reference cable may work well with the Focal Utopia but the Nirvana or Ultra may work well with planar headphones like Audeze or Hifiman.

Jackpersonne I think a lot of people may find the Reference Plus cable may be the sweet spot having silver in it to give it a very similar character to the Ultra. I think the Reference Plus cable will be very popular once it is released.

I got my LCD4 headphones back from repair yesterday and already the combo between the LCD4 headphones and the Nirvana cable is giving me the best headphone sound I have yet experienced and the LCD4 are not even near burned in. I expect my sound to get better and better with time. The Ultra cable sounds glorious on my LCDXC headphones. I will try the Reference Plus on my LCDX headphones in the near future and I am expecting to try a new Nirvana cable on a new LCD3 headphones shortly as well. I will eventually have a comparison of the Danacable Lazuli line with the Audeze LCD headphones line but this will take time. From what I gather so far all the Danacable cables are excellent and the higher up the line the more of the “House Sound” is experienced and the sound is spectacular. I am enjoying my Danacable like any good component.

Out of curiosity what is the preferred termination. 4 pin XLR or quarter inchv

 

[mitchb]

4 pin XLR balanced termination on amp end. Mini XLR for Audeze LCD series. I realized after the fact that I can use one cable for all of my LCD headphones. The cable is still wrapped up in factory wrapping in the box with all paperwork as totally brand new. The picture in the ad is of the cable I use which is the same as the one I am selling.

 

[mitchb]

4 pin XLR balanced is preferred if your amp provides balanced 4 pin XLR as an option. If you don’t have a balanced amp then you have to use 1/4inch RCA.

Really depends. If you are trying to grab a balanced amp. But 1/4 inch would be more popular.
