Best Footers for DAC?

The reason the curved surface is preferred is because the roller bearing will then be capable of isolating the component in two additional rotational directions - ROCK and ROLL. I.e., rotation around the 2 non vertical axes. Obviously, the curved surface also prevents the component from “wandering.” Isolation can be defined as the *ease of motion* in a particular direction. Either curved or flat surfaces provide isolation in the twist direction as well as the horizontal plane. The TWIST direction is the rotational direction around the vertical axis. The only one that’s missing is vertical. That’s where the springs come in. The reason ALL six directions of motion are important is because the Earth surface moves like a carpet being shaken, like a wave. So the entire house is shaking in all 6 directions! This is not rocket science, folks! 🚀

I would recommend your Dac sit on its own shelf.

Four fried eggs sunnyside up - just ensure not to break the yolks and that the DAC rests on the yolk. Organic grain fed is the smoothest but the type with Omega 3 can be more revealing. Experiment with cooking time until you fine tune the sound. Cheaper then playing with fuses. SR are conducting NASA style research on these latest techniques and rumor is that 4 boiled eggs (peeled) works even better due to the different damping properties of the white and the yolk. Of course it is the shape of the egg that is critical too and that is what is being patented.

This is very serious stuff - no yolk!

I like Stillpoints SS minis under my N10. I preferred them over Symposium Rollerballs. I do like a Symposium Svelte Shelf under every component.

This is your brain. 🥚 This is your brain on drugs. 🍳 Just yolking.
