Audio envy - dang!

I usually post on AG when I have an issue or concern, so I’m happy for once it’s to praise a new product, in this case Audio Envy’s IC. 

I use an ARC Classic 60 amp with a Herron 1A preamp. The AE cable went between these two.

I run an ARC Phono pre PH3se from my VPI prime as source.
My speakers are Thiel CS2.4’s

Out of the box a bit bright, But after a few hours that just went to strait up transparent - I mean freaking crystal clear. No tonal aberrations. Smooth, with no etched highs. Voices sound right, Natural. Soundstage opened up, as you might expect when things get clearer.

The best part was how inexpensive they were. They made my Cardas Clear Light interconnects I was using sound clouded by contrast. The Cardas was about x3 the cost of the AE’s.
BTW, this wasn’t “I think I hear differences”, this was “I’ll never use those Cardas in this system again, and where is my IPad, I need to order my next set!”

And that’s just what I did.

Thanks for the explanation. I'm curious since the Obsession did not work on your DAC, on what component do you like it?

excuse my ignorance but for those of you that have the IC's does the arrow/signal on them mean to have the arrow pointed in the direction to the amp/integrated amp?

I ended swapping back to another TWL cord I was using with it originally, called The Digital.

well all I can say is the interconnect I received is really musical in my system.  call it system synergy or whatever it is just very, very good, I'm satisfied.
