Read your article regarding the sMS-200 on DAR just after it was posted. Nice. Feel pretty confident in my up-stream path: dedicated Cutler-Hammer 15A circuit/Audience AR1P/Teddy Pardo PSU to a microRendu with a Chord Company Signature USB. I'll also be trying out an ultraRendu with some other power options as well. Maybe an ultraRendu will sound amazing with an UltraDAC. .
Cousin has two AudioQuest Niagara 1000s that was just reviewed on DAR. He loves them. I'll need to compare one to my Audience. It's endless but fun. I've been preaching to my friends how everything matters. How if you have just one bottle neck, it degrades your system. EMI/RFI issues over USB just to start. I think it is always better to start clean rather then trying to clean it up later. I'm even going to leave my 12V Teddy PSU on my CAPs server even though all it does now is send DLNA across my network. Another bottleneck that killed my 0s and 1s was when I temporarily used a Time Warner/Spectrum modem/router. Nasty! There is another article series right there but probably not much fun. I'm also convinced retailers don't want you to know how rooms are 50% of the problem. There is a reason small speakers end up sounding better at trade shows. I think many times those blogging preach about fixes that work on their colored systems where real reviewers with their reference systems already have the bottlenecks worked out in rooms that are tweaked. Okay, I'll stop rambling.
Very excited to try out the Ultradac but my v280/2Qute is still sounding so wonderful. Sounds so alive with perfect synergy but my guess is its a bit forgiving. Even redbook sounds terrific.
