Benchmark DAC1. Power cord?

I tried a Signal Cable digital PC vs. the stock cord supplied with the Benchmark and could hear no improvment or deterioration.

What I did hear were enormous differences with each and every interconnect I tried. I think this is due to this unit's exceedingly neutral performance.

Well, I just replaced my PC from Virtual Dynamics Audition to a Shunyata Python VX into my DAC1 10 minutes ago (Both Python VX and DAC1 has > 100hrs break in time). I had to pick up my draw back from the floor. The image is so vivid and every piece of instruement has it own space with far distance apart from each others. The singer poped forward and I can hear there is space between the the singer and the background. I am wondering how would it sound if I use the Shunyata Python Alpha on my Modwright SWL9SE preamp..

The Dac 1 needs to be warmed up to be able to enjoy it's full potenital. Try the Cardas Golden Reference.

I just ordered a Virtual Dynamics Master PC. I will keep the high performer for the DAC1 and other one for my SWL9SE preamp.
