Wow, didn't even know he was going to a meet.
Anyways I have to comment on the digital cable which I have been using between The Audio Logic 24mxl Dac and Proceed transport. Even against the well touted i2digital x60 cables, it was far far ahead it. Most digital cables sound pretty similar, some with different tonality, more or less detail etc. But the K Works was able to change the entire presentation of the music. Where for me its greatest attribute was the fullness it gave to everything making instruments far less flat giving me an allsuion of three dimentionality, not just bloat in certain ranges to make it sound bigger, but an impovement accross the board where it sounds really integrated. The cable also sounds more expanded in stage as well in both directions where placement makes the x60 sound like everything is coming from the same plane. Especially with the AL Dac, it was able to make everything sound less "digital" where the edginess of digital is greatly reduced, and for me its greatert asset is the ablility to sound full and not brittle and thin which is what I hate over headphones.
I personally couldn't believe a digital cable made this much difference where even my switches betweem transports have not come close to making this kind of change.
Well I do have the Dynamo PC as well and will talk about that later but can say it is quite an improvement over the Empowered.

I wish we had been able to demo this when he was still at the meet). Other devices included a novel cable lifter, and some very interesting isolation feet. |
