dcs owners--


Does anyone have any experience with aftermarket digital cables(bnc) for the word clocks ,and the 1394 fire wire for the dsd upsampling?

also ,what seem to be the more compatiable and effective power cords on the dcs stack?

i'm using siltch cords ,and looking for an improvment.
thanks in advance for any advise.

Ozy - If I may speak for my friend once again, he used the Shunyata Anaconda power cords on all his digital gear, and recently changed to all Nordost Valhalla power cords with great resoults.
elberoth2-- you are the second or third who said the n/v cords are greaton the dcs gear..... i guess i'll have to try them , eventhough i'm not a valhala(i/c&s/c) fan...
Ozy - I know what you mean. n/v cables are not my cup of tee either. I found them to thin and anylitycal sounding on almost every equipment except maybe the warmest and most syroupy sounding.

But, to be honest, IMO the n/v power cords are the most transparent cables from the whole valhalla family, i.e. have the least of "Nordost effect".

Worth a try if they are in your price range.

thanks again for your input... could you ask your dcs friend ,what power conditioners he is using with dcs , or what has he tried and found to work well ?
some recommend the hydras ,but when i tried the origianl hydra few years ago , i wasn't impressed.....
ozy - I know he tried the Hydra-8 first, but didn't like the sound (it somehow muted dynamics). Interestingly, he got much better performance from Hydra-6, the cheaper model, which he ended up buying.
