Greetings Gents..
The question I have is what is in that box??? Any thoughts apart from what is listed above?
I am visiting a friend tomorrow near north London who also has the Entreq, so will investigate further then, he is also a convert, and the owner of a very high end system.
With the connections by RCA, I am assuming that the GND (outer) is the only connection, i.e. the pin left bare?
My amplifiers and DAC etc, all incorporate GND LIFT switches, and GND posts. The designer is very aware of the importance of correct grounding, and designs all of his components to be used with one single reference to mains GND - recommending the pre-amp GND LIFT to remain connected, but to lift all others. Of course, the IC's between components are the link. In my own cables, and found that by using this system, increasing the csa of the return (gnd) had a beneficial effect, similar to what has been described by Spirit above. For the record, I have a dedicated feed direct to my system, PS Audio P10 for all but my ZL-200 mono power amps. I used balanced/filters etc in the past.
I believe many systems are compromised by lack of attention to the GND issue, by designers and users, and will be an area of development over the forthcoming years without doubt.

Paul.
