I have built my own silver cables for ACSS and they are better sounding used between DAC - HE-1 than Audio-gd's version
New Audio-gd R-7, R-7HE R-8, R-27, R-27HE, R-28 Flagship Resistor Ladder DACs and DAC/amps
Do you sell?

I could teach You "how to" do them. Sending goods from Sweden to South America is crazy expensive
I have M-Way master (4 pin) ACSS cable from MagnaHifi. It's copper cable.

Nimak also sell Master ACSS, which is silver cable.

Never tried the Nimak master ACSS, but I have Nimak 5 (mini xlr) acss between my R8 and HE1.
So I think the M-way and the Nimak are in the same category, depends on your system, which is better, copper or silver.
Thanks. I also have a 1m long MWay ACSS cable, but now I need a 2m long one.
Nevertheless, I haven't compared the MWay to another ACSS cable. I want now to try silver ones if I can find them at a reasonable price.

Finally I completed the upgrade process of R8HE 2021, the firmware works exactly like the R8MK2. I want to say thank you to @Presence, he spent lots of time answering my questions via PM, made the upgrade process much easier for me.
I will post some photos of the upgrade process later, now I am going back to my man cave to give a listen.

Enjoy…
I made both the large XLR and the mini XLR ACSS from occ litz copper, while the other one is made of silver rectangular tapes and they are also OK.
In my system, however, it is best if one ACSS cable is silver and the other copper litz.

From my experience I have concluded that litz cables that consist of as many hair-thin insulated wires as possible, preferably around 400 per wire, work best. As you know, we need 3 pieces of such cables. + braid for one ready ACSS cable.

You mean different cable on left and right channels?
Absolutely not. I connect the Dac and the preamplifier with a copper litz, and then the preamplifier with the power amplifiers with a silver cable.

I've tried quite a few cable types to make my own ACSS cables and my favourite cable by far is Belden 8402 (20AWG tinned copper). It has really rich harmonics and is less fatiguing than the silver cables I have tried. It's also very reasonably priced - https://www.mcru.co.uk/product/belden-8402-audiophile-interconnect-cable-for-diy/
Have some great experience now since 1y+ with the Nimak Audio 5 ACSS cables…. They brought a great balance into the system while being very revealing

Guys, what's the difference between the Master 19 and Master 9, is it just the power supply?
Same question regarding the R28 and R27. Thanks.
