dcs owners--

A friend of mine has used all Shunyata Anaconda power cords on his Verdi LaScala/Elgar Plus/Verona stack and has completly switched to Nordost Valhalla, with great resoults.

He olso preferes the AES/EBU connection on AQ The Raven AES/EBU cable over both standard and custom made IEEE1394 cable made by user "Jareko".

elberoth2-----not sure i read you on the aes/ebu part... could you elaborate on it please?
i have the same stack as your friend ,and am using the standard 1394 and bnc cables for clocking--- tried the siltch and kharma 1394 cables ,but thought that the sound was missing the bottom end....
anyone used the custom 1394 cable from poland?

Ozy,

He tried both the OE IEEE1394 cable that comes with the dCS stack, and the custom made cable made by "Jareko" (from Poland).

Although the Jareko's cable was better than the OE dCS cable, the felt that standard AES/EBU interface outperformed both of those.

He uses AudioQuest the latest, top of the range The Raven AES/EBU cable, and prefers it over Nordost Valhalla AES/EBU cable he also tried (he uses all Valhalla ICs and power cords).

thanks for the elaborated input... i'll certainly explore it further...
