Stealth Varidig Sextet Break In Period?

Krell man, I just received a AES and RCA digital Sextet, the AES (XLR) from my Audio Research 3 MK2 and RCA (coaxal) from my McIntosh 300 Music Server both going into a Dac. Once they are broken-in I am actually doing a simalar demo as you but with VD's latest Revelation digital cable. I look forward to reading your results. I only have aprox. 20 hours on my Sextet (ARC) and 15 hours on (MAC) so a ways to go.

Agree with TJ. Mine sounded great immediately with minor improvements wrought over time. It is the most neutral and "not there" digital IC in my experience.

Krellman,
Please post your impressions of the Stealth sextet compared to the VD Rev.Sig. digital cable. It will be very interesting to see how these two stack up against each other.
The VD Rev.Sig. vs new VD Rev2 would be another interesting match up.
As far as the new Genesis digital cable, at its price you'd be better off buying a new CDP or DAC 8<).

Krellman,
How long did it take to break in your VD Rev.Sig. digital cable? I'm currently using a balanced Varidig Sextet which I like very much but have just won a balanced VD Rev.Sig. on Audiogon auction. After I compare them one of them is going up for sale. What equipment are you connecting with your cables?

The stealth didn't need much break-in as already reported. I know the VD stuff needs a long time to break loose.

Rja I have to disagree with what has been said about break-in of the Sextet. I do agree that the Sextet does sound good new but to say that there only minor inprovements afterwards hum!

Regarding the VD digital 2.0 I have one being burnt in and will try it once my Sextet has platoed and the changes have stopped.

VD cable is brutal for break-in and stiffness of the cable unbelievable, I should know I have their 2.0 balanced interconects, speaker cables etc.

The Genisis line up is just crazy priced but I will have to try in the new future.

Regarding this Sextet cable I am very happy with what it is or not doing in my system if you understand what I'm saying.
