Never Spend More On Cables Than Your Equipment Cost$$$$$$$$$$

Another interesting read and I agree!

Not a flat earther and cables can make a difference but sticking a $600.00 PC on a $699.00 DAC is a freaking waste of money. IMHO.

As one of my racing instructors Fast Freddy Spencer used to say "Gotta have the apple before you can polish it" .

Spend the money on front end then upgrade your cables.

Just me thinking out loud.

No reason not to start with Nordost cables across the board and Goodwill components (if necessary) as budget allows.

Actual price paid. The power cord is Acrolink 8N-PC8100 ($4,000). The DAC is Chord QBD76 (RRP 6,295 but I paid $3,800 for it, used).
