Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC

Generally speaking, when having digital based transistor system you don't want pure silver cables. They will give you speed and resolution but often not full bodied sound. In most cases well done copper or silver/copper alloy will be overall better. Even in my analogue based transistor system with warm sounding speakers I use both pure silver and alloy interconnects, silver speaker cables. It is not that simple. There are also cables made of copper/silver/gold alloys, and Echole even uses some palladium. Think of it as putting different sets of strings on an acoustic guitar, you tune and then fine tune.

To recap,
Mac with iTunes  > long usb cable > Aeris dac > AQ Wel > JR 625S > Wilson Sabrinas.
System doubles for TV audio with TV in between speakers.

A few points :-
1: CD ripping with iTunes - lossy or lossless compression - AIFF/ALAC or just MP3?
2. TV in between speakers - ? interference from EMR, RFI
- ? interference with soundstage
3. JR 625S - v. expensive amps, still on demo at home or fully paid for?
4. AQ Wel - ? forgotten
5. Now looking at preamp despite good sound direct from dac to amps which are not well burned in yet
6. Aeris dac and Wilson Sabrinas - bought or gifted? broken in? separate components that came without amps?
7. Devialet - expensive but...not working?

Very puzzling......

Not really puzzling. A little chaotic but it's controlled chaos.
Women are not men. Let us pray for that in Old Persian.

Jon - what's so puzzling?
rinpoche indicated earlier  that she purchased the amps and that they were dealer demos.
What difference does it make how she got the dac and speakers - she's had them and said she likes them
She already said that she wasn't in a position to rearrange her room; a lot of us have to live with constraints on maximizing listening experience 
She said that she had been offered a cable to trade the Devialet for , apparently it works   
Throughout the thread rinpoche has said she was considering a preamp  but was looking for opinions on whether to stay with DAC or insert one. She  indicated she probably wait a year on the preamp. People are entitled to change their minds if they think they see value, does she need someone else's permission?

Inna , time to give the male female nonesense a break . 

Time for you to stay quiet, facten.
