Very nice ultra portable set up
Can you please share The sound character about Wagnus Voskhod IC ?
What is the SQ different between stock silver or silver / gold from 1+2 compare to your Wagnus Progress Bootsy cable ?
Thank you


Hi Rudi,
I'm using the Voskhod as well as the Über mini. Between these 2, the Über has a larger soundstage and tad more detailing,but with a reduction in the bass region. The Voskhod has a fuller sound especially in the bass region. I prefer the Voskhod 's fuller sound signature and it's the complete opposite of the Wagnus Sputnik reference type sound.
I'm meeting Anakchan soon and we'll hopefully do a thorough comparison between all the Tralucent cables and our Wagnus cables(he has the Luna) with the 1+2 & Ref1. I can share my impressions afterwards.

Your investment in Toxic cables makes me think you should just chase another PB2, maybe used....

You don't always have to spend a lot of money to get something that sounds good.


I run my Hi2050 from an iPod Touch 4G with 256 AAC and love them.

Like you said, the proof is right there not everything needs to be super expensive.
