Tom, Charles, and Scott (sbayne),
Thanks so much for the positive feedback. I simply wrote what I heard and tried to keep it real.
Scott, I can tell you that I was more than a little hesitant to invest so much in a USB cable, but it brought such a profound improvement in sound quality to my digital front end (and to David’s) that I honestly don’t regret it for a second. Your inference that David’s system and the SEs in particular are able to fully flesh out and capitalize on such differences in cabling is spot on and I am glad that this came through in my writing.
Often the downside to that level of resolution is that such gear is less forgiving and I would be negligent not to state that I predict the SEs to be more demanding of upstream gear-and-cabling quality than the base DIs, which seem from all I have heard and read to be almost magical in their affability toward varying levels of upstream components/cabling. Perhaps David will weigh in on that, having now owned both speakers.
Thanks again guys,
Dave
