Wes, that is (as you would say) a killer cable! FAW Noir Hybrid (and Norne Audio Vygarde) are go-to, near SOTA cables. So reasonably priced, too! Have you thought of FAW-NH as the component interconnects? I love the XLR-XLR from DAC to headphone amplifier .

I am currently running some Audio Envy O'nestian IC's (XLR-XLR) and loving them, however with what I am hearing with the Noir Hybrid I am very interested in some FAW interconnects as well. I had forgetten that Matt makes IC's, so thanks for the suggestion.

Totally! Always use the proper tool for the job.

As my Grandmum would say: “If you want something done right, do it yourself.” THIS IS BURN-IN :

Having fun with my old Beyerdynamic DT990 600ohm cans at my Head-Fi station today, always planned on modding them but I'm ever so slow as I've said many times before giggle. I'm old 'n broken, still working on last winters cable projects even, leave me alone lol.

Anyways, cleaned away the mess just now after modding/upgrading the DT990's and time for a listen. Modded for balanced wiring/ removable cable etc, heck it's all upgraded.... silver solder, super soft SW custom goatskin internally ported pads to quad braided 24awg obsidian silver (black)/sterling silver (xtra shiny) litz mix internal/headband wiring... SW silver litz cables etc... You get the idea, just sharing current listening fun... Hope everyone enjoys a safe and extra Merry Xmas !

OK, you're gonna have to explain what we're looking at here. Entirely cool, just that I've never seen this before.

I see a cassette tape. That's enough for me to click the Like button frantically- but to no avail.

I love retro audio.
