Nsgarch, I think I'll have to disagree with you on the use of shielded cords for digital. Just that my experience has been different. I use Audience cord on my dac and tried shielded cords and always preffered the sound of the dac with Audience cord. Clio, borrow cords from cable company and see if a shielded cord will beat the Audience. Using shielded cords in my system always resulted in darker, more closed-in sound. The noise rejection usually comes at the expense of dynamic range. I am now trying out the Audience cord on my amp as we speak, in addition to the one I already use with the dac and I like what I hear this cord does on the amp. But of course, the only way for Clio to find out is to try different PCs.
