Re: No, that's not "That's all." I answered your first point. Now you're raising another. (NT)

Hi,

When Audioquest first introduced DBS they thought that a DC voltage of 12V would be sufficient because 12V is higher then the audio signal. Later they discovered that increasing the DBS voltage gave more sonic improvements. They made three steps, 12V, 24V and 36V for the big cat series. AQ discovered that above 50V there was no sonic improvements so 72V is a bit of over kill. From a marketing point of view there is no need for further improvement of the big cat series. The new introduced river series have to be better. AQ always introduces new cables if there is greater sonic improvement. That is the reason why AQ did not put the 72V DBS on the big cat series. The Sky was the only IC with the 72V DBS.

Cheers,
Johan
