New Cary DMS 700

^ .. and an Uptone LPS 1.2 for the ER .. and another LPS for the Clock ... custom Ghent power cables .... down the rabbit hole we go!

My DMS-700 continues to improve and now exceeds SQ of all sources in my system.  I've been using Tidal, NAS and USB input on the front with a Sandisk 256Gb flash drive.  The USB has best SQ.  Benzman have you found the SD to be better than USB?  I haven't tried any of the Ethernet upgrades either.  How much of an improvement do you get out of an Etheregen?

The EtherRegen in my system is as simple as it gets. Router > EtherRegen> SoTM dCBL-CAT7 cable > Cary DMS 600.  I think it gets me within 5% of the attached drives. Of course the attached drives have Higher resolution files than on Qobuz and Tidal so that may play a part. I have heard that with and LPS and Fiber you can actually surpass locally stored files. The weather delayed the 700 till tomorrow.  It looks so close to the 600 that I thought I could could slip it by the wife. I came clean today and feel like a new man. :) 

Hello Benzman. Can you give me an exact list (EtherRegen, SoTM dCBL-CAT7, etc.) of items I need to purchase for my Cary Audio DMS600 to increase the sound quality? For my Ethernet cable, I’m using the Audioquest Vodka. I’m also thinking of getting the Cary Audio DMS700. Let me know what your thoughts are. 
Thanks

EtherRegen is sold out until mid-March. I saw a unit for a good price in US Audiomart if you want to get one sooner.

Since you already have a good Ethernet cable, that’s all you need to get started. Perhaps later on you can buy a good quality linear power supply for EtherRegen
