Maybe it is my MWAY NTRL REF(ACSS) that is taking all the cake…

This system just sounds right!

To be honest Im very sceptic of cables, but I have never tried acss, before. Magnahifi gained my trust pretty early, after alot of…alot of dialog in mails…

They are the most patient people I know to date! - and they KNOW technical stuff.

I talked with Jos, and I feel, they(magnahifi) are NOT mentioned enough! I told them that I wanted to support them(my signature) without expectation, because they already gave me the best service/patience I have got from ANY seller in europe. No hate to the other seller, Im greatful for audiophonics.fr, but magna is just special to me!

They told me they have been working on a cable(MWAY) that sounds best to there perception of what good music should sound like. I thought I would give there cable a try.

My impression is: I feel closer to the music, yes closer than XLR!

I have a silver Nimak but took it out in favour of my favourite XLR which is all copper. Have tried copper + silver XLR and still preferred all copper.

When this OCK-2 settles in will try both again.

I wouldn't mind trying an all copper ACSS cable.

Kingwa has both analog and digital ACSS cables showing on his site. I bought the analog one, which I use to run my Master 19 off my R8 MK2. The cable is cheap/good and does a great job. I haven't wanted to try anything else.

I have both AGD copper acss and Nimak 5 silver acss cable. Today I made a comparisation.
The soundstage and 3d imaging are excellent with both cables, but Nimak has much better bass and fuller midrange.
The AGD acss is thin and dry compare to Nimak.

Received my Robertson audio silver acss cables today.

Since I can swap between the inputs I have with a press of a button, its very easy to A/B. Since they're pure silver cables, they'll probably need a good amount of burn in time but off the bat, its better everywhere. Even more so than I was expecting.

A initial impressions, its more holographic, microdetails up the wazoo, bass hits harder, bigger stage and depth. Its a little harsher in the treble, a bit sybilant, I going to wait till it has about 200 hours on it and will report back on it.

Looks sweet. Took you long enough😂🙌
(-wait you just got your R8 before me now that I remember)

Welcome to the acss club😎

Those are caps, on the unused ports?

Since I got my acss cables and dac I actually went from gain, to no gain on my HE9LE(just passed 500hours) 78/100 for Susvara

acss is serious.

Yea there are caps on all unused ports.

I need to find the right volume, I'm usually at 34-35 with my d7200s but this is too loud with acss.

I somehow get the best experience going slow with the volumeknob from 00
