Hi ! yes exactly !
My chain is now:win 7pc (sadly not 8.1) > belden usb cable > Gustard u12 > Sommercable Binary AES/EBU cable > Apogee Rosetta 200 dac > Cardas Hexlink 5C > SAC Headphone amp > AKG k501
I have very few hours on the cables but i start listening something interesting.
I know that Cardas have a long break-in before sounding complete.
With 4 hours a day of use i am afraid they will take months to be burnt-in completely.
I have to stick with HP listening for sometime but i find the k501 quite revealing in the midrange that is my main interested.
In the weekend i will put a usb power supply on the Gustard that does not work without power on the usb. It does not wake up.
I hope it will be beneficial.
All in all i like the sound signature of Cardas cable a lot indeed.
I also read an interesting comment about the good quality of even the Cardas XLR entry level (Crosslink, Mic cable and 300B).
While the differences between the same models but RCA should be more pronounced ( i do not know if this is true or not by the way).
I cannot afford the most expensive models. Neutral Ref could be my perfect cable.
But i think that cables are important in the end. Even if they sometimes color the sound ?Moreover a friend will give me his old Benchmark DAC 1 to try out.
I am curious to listen to it because i have seen that many Inmates still use it ... maybe it is not that obsolete.
When i will get the sound right with headphones ... well that will be a good day. Headphones do not forgive a lot, especially in the midrange.
Thanks again.
Kind regards,
bg
